Then this happened:

From Railpictures.net

That must be one hell of a ride when the front truck goes right and the rear truck goes left by splitting a switch.

What's happening in the picture?

If your referring to the picture I found: Penn Central being Penn Central
If your referring to the orginal picture: Crews of the former rivals shake hands on the morning of Feb. 1 1968 as they now work together as Penn Central. I pretty sure this picture is from Newberry Yard in Williamsport.

Could be a propelling move from left to right of the image.
