This and several other photos of the 2153 taken in Roanoke Shop after the explosion were in "CLASSIC POWER 3A - USRA 2-8-8-2 SERIES"; it's been out of print for a good many years.

    This was 2153 that had a boiler explosion on December 12, 1955 at Crockett, near Wytheville. It had just received a classified repair in the previous weeks.

      What engine number was the Y6 whose boiler exploded near Wytheville. I spoke with the man that reported the injector not working properly on the engine the night before. He said it had not been long out of the shop from overhaul as it was still very clean.
