The Rio Grande acquired the 1701, 1710, 1722 ,1724 ,1727, 1728, 1729, 1730 from the N&W in 1943. They became the Rio Grande’s 3550 to 3557, class L109s. They also got 1706, 1709, 1713, 1714, 1719, 1725, 1726 in 1945 which became 3558 to 3564, same class. They were all scrapped between 1947 and 1951. These were all Y-2 or Y-2a locos on the N&W.
Bill Winans ------------------------- Can't tell you about the Pennsy Y3's, but The Santa Fe bought eight of them to be used as helpers on Raton Pass near the end of WWII. Seven of them were later sold to the Virginian. Here's how the numbers played out: N&W 2021 > ATSF 1790 > VGN 738 N&W 2022 > ATSF 1791 > VGN 739 N&W 2015 > ATSF 1792 > VGN 737 N&W 2026 > ATSF 1793 > VGN 740 N&W 2014 > ATSF 1794 > VGN 736 N&W 2029 > ATSF 1795 > VGN 741 N&W 2035 > ATSF 1796 > VGN 742 N&W 2042 > ATSF 1797 > Scrap, Albuquerque August 1947. The only information I have on the Union Pacific Y3's is that they bought five of them from the N&W in 1945 and were given UP numbers 3670-3674 for work serving the coal mining branches in the Rock Springs Wyoming area.
