I have photos of it outside from the mid 1970s, I would have to go through all
my four boxes of photos to find them(it is over 1500 photos, of course not organized yet).
I am in the process of scanning and cataloging them all as a retirement project in addition
to two layouts that are under construction.

Greetings,
Brad Dobbins just informed me that the last surviving N&W Y3 is located in the Illinois Railway Museum. Wow, I had no idea! Sometimes I feel like I live on a deserted island. Thanks to Brad and my other friends that keep me informed about these things! Ha! The UP Snow Plow restoration looks nice.
Regards,
