Y6B 2171

[NW Mailing List]

Sadly, I was a teenager when I took these pictures and I didn't have the
wisdom to realize how precious these objects were. I took only those 3 shots
and then turned back to the living railroad.

Wow. Fantastic to see them.....but sad at the same time. Thanks for sharing
them and please post some more if you have them. The subject has always
interested me as they hung around so long after the end of steam yet still
vanished well after the "preservation era" had begun.

I too saw them in 1973. And while my slides are marked "Virginia Scrap
Iron", United works for me. Attached are some photos.
How can one distinguish between a Y6 and Y6b in the state these locos were
in?
