| Special. Here is an original photo that I took while riding the Pennsylvania Railroad's "Flaming Foliage Special" west of Duncansville, Pennsylvania, on 13 October 1963. Shown here is a stretch of track below the Muleshoe Curve. The seeming-space on the left is where the second or eastbound track of the New Portage Branch Line once existed. This was also the right-of-way for the New Portage Railroad that was built by the State of Pennsylvania in 1855, abanbdoned by the PRR in 1857, rebuilt by the PRR in 1904, and then abandoned once again in 1981. |
