Y retirements

[NW Mailing List]

EdK:
Compared the entry for Y6a 2162 in the assignment ledger 
with what's in Prince's book. Not a lot of  difference except
ledger gives date engine received (7/3/42),  date retired
(11/30/59), place retired (Williamson) and date  sold (12/24/59
to Friedman, but ledger notes Cincinnati,  not Portsmouth.
That may have been Friedman's home office, not scrap
location).    
 
Ledger notes that 2162 was initially assigned to the  Radford
Division.  The last divisional transfers were  recorded
in 1929 (for some reason).  Additionally, the 2092  was
originally assigned to the Shenandoah Division, but  of
course it's last service was apparently on another  division.
 It's also interesting to note that the 4-4-2 J's were  all
assigned to the Norfolk Division, but the 4-8-4 J's  were
assigned to the Radford Division, probably because
Shaffers Crossing was the maintenance and test shop.
 
After 1929, it appears that the only additional information 
ledger will provide that doesn't appear in Prince's book  is
exact date locomotive was  received, scrapped, sold  and
initial division assignment.  Engines sold to  other railroads
have interchange information.
 
Sorry, Ron Hash, I'd left for Roanoke before your  request
was posted.  I'll keep your request in  mind.
