I would be interested in the circumstances of why Pennsy leased these.  Since the photographer is ID’d as Bob Lorenz with a date, the 1950-51 date is probably the correct date this lease.

That same picture is in The Keystone but dated 1950 and credited to Bob Lorenz.

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.

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!
