Wye Switches. Here is the second of seven successive original photos that I took at the Wye Switches in Duncansville, Pennsylvania, on 3 July 1965. Shown here is the front end of Pennsylvania Railroad engine #9541, an EF-15 built by GM-EMD in September of 1948 and rated at 1,500 horsepower. Along with two other locomotives and a 77-car mixed-cargo freight train, it's stopped at 3rd Street in Duncansville awaiting orders to proceed up the New Portage Branch line to Gallitzin and points West. |
