Hi,

I have ridden behind J 611 and A 1218 thanks to NS.

I was wondering if any Y6 was preserved. My best guess is that they were all scrapped.

Thanks

Doug

Y-6a #2156 is preserved at Museum of Transportation in St. Louis.

Actually, there is only one Y6 left. The 2050 is a Y3a. Two Y6's lasted into the mid 1970's at a Roanoke scrap yard, unfortunately preservation efforts failed.

Oops. I shoulda looked at the details closer.
