PRR 8670, AS-18AM, 1964
Title:  PRR 8670, AS-18AM, 1964
Description:  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 #8670, #8660, and #8673. All are AS-18AM's built by the American Locomotive Company in 1958 and rated at 1,800 horsepower each. These three helper engines, caboose #477781, two freight cars, and three lead engines have just arrived from Altoona. They have stopped, and are awaiting permission to back into the Hollidaysburg Yards. Duncansville's Fifth Street is in the photos center, Second Avenue is on the left, while Third Avenue (i.e., US Route 22) is visible on the right. These tracks occupy what was once the right-of-way for the Allegheny Portage Railroad (1834-1854).
