An American Classic
The Norfolk and Western Y-3, One of Americas Great Locomotives:
By the time of World War II, the N&W had built enough of these more modern articulated to consider 19 Y3s surplus and they were sold to other railroad that were short of power. Thus six Y3s served on the Pennsylvania Railroad, five on the Union Pacific, and eight on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe. In 1948 seven were sold to the Virginian Railway. They were reconditioned and put into service as the Virginian's USE class.
