Bye Bye To The Y

[NW Mailing List]

Seems odd to me to get upset because an agreement or contract has come to an end and the engine is returning to it's owner? I think it would be great to have the Y with the J and A but it is what it is.  What about the 578 and 2050?

  I see someone else wondered about the lack of any visible campaign to raise funds to keep  2156 in Roanoke.  What happened that VMT seems to have given up without public try of some sort??  We can't contribute to something we know nothing about.

 This EXTREMELY SUCKS!!! I had wanted to start a FUND ME to buy the Y6a for about 5 million to keep it in Roanoke and drag it to Spencer shops to see what could be done.  Perhaps the Va Transportation folks need to be replaced with competent folks???  Has it actually ben 5 years?  Seems like 3.

Couple of corrections....
It’s Bob Saxtan, not ‘Saxton’. 
Also, they are driving rods, not robs.

Trains magazine posted yesterday "After spending the past half-decade in Virginia, former Norfolk and Western Y6a steam locomotive No. 2156 will soon return home to St. Louis." The timetable for the dead-in-tow move back west is up in the air due to the pandemic. Efforts by the Va. Museum of Transporation to keep the engine in the place of her birth didn't pan out, so the engine will be moved to Shaffer's Crossing to be prepped to move.
