Wye on NC Branch, was Mallet Engines on the Saltville Branch - When?

I agree with Mr. Bundy. A spot check of Radford Division Timetables 
back to 1923 which are the smaller size and easier to get to, never 
shows a wye at Fries Junction. There was a wye at Draper (outside 
Pulaski) and Fries itself, but not Fries Junction. The wye at Galax was 
not installed until sometime after 1923. The Y Class was common power 
as a lot of heavy traffic originated on the line.  My father recalls 
using them there
