PC, WYE Track Diagram, 1974 |
| Description: |
Here is a "track diagram" of WYE Tower's interlocking and signals located in Duncansville, Pennsylvania. It was drawn by Mr. Ed Spodobalski and published originally in the January-February 1974 issue of "PC Railroader" magazine, page 24. There is one small error in the diagram, however. What is labeled as "H&P Branch" in the upper-left quadrant should actually read "Hollidaysburg Branch." During and after the New Portage Railroad era, this location was known as "New Portage Junction." |

PRR Eastbound Freight, 1962 |
| Description: |
Oil Power. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide by an unidentified photographer that was taken just West of Mount Union, Pennsylvania, in August of 1962. Shown here is a pair of Baldwin-built "Shark" A-units as they pull a mixed-cargo freight train through the interlocking at JACKS Tower in "Jack's Narrows." The Tower's shadow is visible at the far right. Many thanks to Mr. Rick Erben for identifying this location correctly. |
