Y-6 leases to Pennsy

Hard to believe a steel strike threat would cause such a panic for the railroads nationwide but it certainly affected them all.

Roger,

    There was an on-going threat of a steel strike and many industries were stock piling inventory to carry them through what they thought would be a long work interruption. Once the strike did come, the steam revival during the retreat turned into a rout.

   The 1955-56 lease situation made me wonder just what happened those years to cause the huge traffic surges. I have read a lot of books on many different railroads and almost every one throughout the country experienced these increases during those years. No war traffic so what was going on? It seems all the railroads were bringing retired steam out of the dead lines and or leasing engines from others.

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.

 > 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!
