I don't have a full list, but I'm sure one of the pictures in question is
entitled "A Norfolk and Western Train Load of "Fuel Satisfaction" In
Virginia" featuring Y6b numer 2173 is one of them. It shows double track
along a river bank, and I would guess that it is hand tinted. This one came
from an office in southern Ohio, perhaps Portmouth.
