Wye Switches. Here is an original photo that I took of a Pennsylvania Railroad train at the Wye Switches in Duncansville, Pennsylvania, during March of 1960. Shown here two unidentified PRR EMD "F" units and a caboose. They have come from East Altoona, front end forward. They took the North leg of the Wye for a short distance when they arrived in Duncansville, but are now backing into the Hollidaysburg Yards for the purpose of pulling a train of new and/or reconditioned freight cars 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. |
