N&W Steam Locomotive Builders Plates

[NW Mailing List]

I was viewing Bill Gordon's "Norfolk and Western Railway" album on Flickr this morning. One of his magnificent photos  is of"Y6a" 2156 at the Boaz pusher siding in May, 1958. In the comments Section, it was mentioned that 2156 had no builders plates.
I have viewed many N&W "Y" Class photos and slides and have noticed an absence of builders plates.
Where were the plates?
Did the Company scrap them while steam was operating?
If not on the locomotives, were the plates kept somewhere in the Roanoke Shops?

Thanks,

James Flummer
