[PRCo] WP___Sidings

[James B. Holland]

Good Morning!


The caption for the photo in the Jun-1994 PRMA calendar reads:


"""Left-hand siding operation was fairly routine on West Penn Railways, 
and was often employed when a passing track was located at the foot of a 
grade."""

Anyone know the reason why?


Imagine the turnouts were spring returned  --  operator didn't have to 
set them each time, did they?
