Date of Y4 Tender change

[NW Mailing List]

Jim,
How would you guess that they may have been coupled together?
Did they have a temporary drawbar sort of thing on the front end?
Do you recall if they were all head to tail or just random orientation?
 
Thanks,

1948 is too early. 1953 would be about right. I can remember seeing the tenders at east end shops just after they bought them. I was riding home from college on No. 3 and spotted them as we were coming into Roanoke. That would have to be sometime between the fall of 1952 and the spring of 1956. So....1953 sounds about right.    Jim Nichols

Listers,
 
This question is prompted from my "Norfolk & Western's Y-Class Articulated Steam Locomotives" book:
 
What year were the ex-ACL tenders placed behind the Y4's?
Page 62 says 1948 while pages 63 and 65 say 1953.
 
Thanks,
Dave Willis
