PRR 8618, AS-18M, 1965 |
| Description: |
WYE Tower. Here is an original photo that I took of a Pennsylvania Railroad train at the Wye Switches in Duncansville, Pennsylvania, on 21 May 1965. Shown here is PRR engine #8618, an AS-18M built by American Locomotive Company during August of 1956 and rated at 1,800 horsepower. It's pulling a mixed-cargo freight train that is still crossing US Route 22 on its way from Hollidaysburg to Altoona. This train will travel on what was the PRR's original main line from Altoona to its connection with the New Portage Railroad from 1850 until 1854. After the Horseshoe Curve was completed and the present main line was opened in 1854, the PRR bought the Pennsylvania Canal-New Portage Railroad package from the State ~ but then abandoned both of them in 1857! |
