| Wye Switches. Here is an original photo that I took at the Wye Switches in Duncansville, Pennsylvania, in March of 1960. Shown here are two unidentified Pennsylvania Railroad "EF" Class units and a cabin car. They would have been driven forward from East Altoona to the wye, proceeded up the New Portage Branch line for a hundred feet or so, and then will run backwards from there into the Hollidaysburg Yards for the purpose of picking up a train of new and/or reconditioned freight cars and pulling them up the New Portage Branch via the Muleshoe Curve to Gallitzin and points West. Duncansville's 3rd Street Grade Crossing is visible in the immediate foreground. |
