Renumbering of Ten Y5s

[NW Mailing List]

Those nine Y-5s were not renumbered 2010-2019; they became 2110-2119.  That put all the first-line (Y-5 and later) 2-8-8-2s in the 2100 series, except, of course, for the 2200 at the end.

The 2092 was excluded from the renumbering because at that time it did not exist.  It was destroyed in the wreck and boiler explosion at Maybeury in June of 1937.  There were only 19 Y-5s from that time on.

Is it known why ten Y5's (2090-2091 and 2093-2099) were renumbered 2010-2019?

And is it known why one engine in this sequence, the 2092, was not included in the renumbering?
