Whats wrong with this video?

[NW Modeling List]

There is a 1948 RAILROAD magazine article that describes a 'shifter' moving
a 40-ish cut of coal from Williamson to Roanoke ( I think it was) using a
Y-3 and some pushers at times.  The one key theme seems that this type of
operation was very common on the Pokey and that shifters moving blocks of
cars across a district was a daily event.

I also know that lower priority loads moved across the Peavine by being
moved to Sardinia from Portsmouth by the East End Shifter and picked up by
the West End Shifter for movement to Clare Yard in Cincinnati.

I report later on what issue this article was in.

Ordinarily they didn't use that many Y's on one train , except maybe on the
Buchanan branch. But they probably wouldn't have been all Y3's. However,
modelers have to work with what they have. But the thing really wrong with
this video is that there is no caboose. Remember, this was the steam era!

Found this on YouTube.  Did N&W use double Y3's as pushers along with two
more on the front of a coal drag?
