| Description: |
Wye Switches. Here is an original photo that I took of a Pennsylvania Railroad train at the Wye Switches in Duncansville, Pennsylvania, on 1 August 1962. Shown here (L to R) are engines #9574 and #2008. Both were built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works. #9574 is a BF-15 built in March of 1949, rated at 1,500 horsepower, and retired in December of 1963. #2008 is a BF-16 built in October of 1951, rated at 1,600 horsepower, and retired in July of 1966. These two Baldwin "Sharks" and N-5 cabin car # 477719 have just come from East Altoona. They are about to cross US Route 22, after which they will stop and back into the Hollidaysburg Yards, pick-up a freight train, and then head up the New Portage Branch to Gallitzin and points West. |

Chione. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide via Al Chione that was taken near Gallitzin, Pennsylvania, in June of 1963. The photographer is not identified. Shown here (L to R) is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #9574 and another "Shark" A-unit whose road number is not recorded. #9574 is a BF-15 built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in March of 1949, rated at 1,500 horsepower, and retired in December of 1963 after just 14 years of revenue service. They're pulling two (experimental?) hoppers and a cabin car, and will soon enter the New Portage Tunnel on their way down the Allegheny Mountains to Altoona. |
