Y-6 leases to Pennsy

[NW Mailing List]

I believe the Pennsy leased Y-3's, not Y-6's.Jason MaxwellSent via the Samsung Galaxy S7, an AT&T 4G LTE smartphone

Roger -  I thought the same thing as I got my Keystone 
yesterday.   I had known about the Reading, RF&P, and AT&SF 
leases, but that was the first about the N&W.  It did not make sense to 
me.

I 
just received my latest issue of The 
Keystone 
magazine from the PRRT&HS. There is an interesting article about leased 
engines the Pennsy used at times. Most interesting was that they leased 5 Y 
class engines from the N&W during 1950-51. Total news to me. Apparently they 
leased a Y-6  and 4 Y-6b's which were virtually new engines. This info was 
new to me and I found it even more amazing the N&W let 3 virtually new 
Y-6b's leave the property for something like that. Knowing how the Pennsy beat 
leased engines half to death I would have thought they would let them have older 
engines. Learn something new every day!Roger
