Wye Switches. Here is an original photo that I took of a Pennsylvania Railroad train at the Wye Switches in Duncansville, Pennsylvania, on 5 October 1964. Shown here (R to L) are PRR engines #2511, #9546-B, and #9686. #2511 is a GF-25 built by GE in 1962 and rated at 2,500 horsepower. #9546-B and #9686 are EH-15's built by EMD in 1949 and rated at 1,500 horsepower each. They are pulling a 109-car freight train up the New Portage Branch Line to Gallitzin and points West. Wave to the engineer! |
