Electric Railway Journal. Also, Corbis Images has stock photography on line
titled "Southern Cambria Railway Tracks Through Johnstown" which appears to show
the overhead intersection with the electrical box on a wooden pole. It wouldn't
surprise me if at some point the voltage was lowered to 600 volts. Probably a
relatively simple conversion. </div><div style="line-height:21.2999992370605px;color:rgb(68, 68, 68);font-size:15px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br style="line-height:21.2999992370605px;"></div><div style="line-height:21.2999992370605px;color:rgb(68, 68, 68);font-size:15px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);">Does anyone know of any quality images, other than what Rohrbeck has, of the wreck of August 1916? </div><div style="line-height:21.2999992370605px;color:rgb(68, 68, 68);font-size:15px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br style="line-height:21.2999992370605px;"></div><div style="line-height:21.2999992370605px;color:rgb(68, 68, 68);font-size:15px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);">Thanks</div><br><div>Dennis F.
