 Somewhere there is a photo of the 2185 handling a train on the Sandusky line . . . Ed King From: NW Mailing List Sent: Tuesday, December 10, 2019 5:33 PMTo: NW Mailing List via NW-Mailing-List Cc: NW Mailing List Subject: Re: Y-6 leases to Pennsy Roger -  I have my Keystone here as it takes me a couple of weeks to read it through.  The article claims that the following N&W locomotives were leased in the fall of 1950 -  Y6 – 2130, and Y6b -  2182, 2185, 2186, and 2187.  They were returned in early 1951 and were used on the PRR Columbus Division.  I learn something new every day! Ron Muldowney   From: NW Mailing List via NW-Mailing-List Sent: Tuesday, December 10, 2019 4:07 PMTo: NW Mailing List via NW-Mailing-List Cc: NW Mailing List Subject: Re: Y-6 leases to Pennsy No, the N&W sold some Y-3s to the Pennsy during WWII but these were leased engines in classes Y6 and Y6b that were leased during 1950-51. I don't have the magazine handy to give you the numbers. There were photos and the writer apparently did his research. Roger Huber Deer Creek Locomotive Works  On Tuesday, December 10, 2019, 03:03:05 PM CST, NW Mailing List via NW-Mailing-List <nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org> wrote:   I believe the Pennsy leased Y-3's, not Y-6's. Jason Maxwell   Sent via the Samsung Galaxy S7, an AT&T 4G LTE smartphone -------- Original message --------From: NW Mailing List <nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org> Date: 12/10/19 2:50 PM (GMT-06:00) To: NW Mailing List <nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org> Subject: Re: Y-6 leases to Pennsy  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. Ron Muldowney From: NW Mailing List via NW-Mailing-List Sent: Tuesday, December 10, 2019 2:49 PMTo: N&W Mailing List Cc: NW Mailing List 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!
