PRR 9574, BF-15, 1962
Description:
Wye Switchds. 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 BaldwiQ 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.
