Y-6 leases to Pennsy

[NW Mailing List]

Roger -  I thought the same thing as I got my Keystone yesterday.   I had known about the Reading, RF&P, and AT&SF leases, but that was the first about the N&W.  It did not make sense to me.

Subject: Y-6 leases to Pennsy

I just received my latest issue of The Keystone magazine from the PRRT&HS. There is an interesting article about leased engines the Pennsy used at times. Most interesting was that they leased 5 Y class engines from the N&W during 1950-51. Total news to me. Apparently they leased a Y-6  and 4 Y-6b's which were virtually new engines. This info was new to me and I found it even more amazing the N&W let 3 virtually new Y-6b's leave the property for something like that. Knowing how the Pennsy beat leased engines half to death I would have thought they would let them have older engines. Learn something new every day!
