PRR 8670, AS-18AM, 1964         
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 (L to R) 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. They are pushing a 109-car freight train up the New Portage Branch Line to Gallitzin and points West. Duncansville's Fifth Street is in the photo's center.
