After spending the past half-decade in Virginia, former Norfolk and Western Y6a steam locomotive No. 2156 is returning home to St. Louis. I happened to capture the moment Friday Evening 06/12/2020.
N&W 2156 was leased to the Virginia Museum of Transportation by the St. Louis museum in May 2015 in exchange for the Virginia museum’s EMD FTB demonstrator diesel. The steam locomotive was pulled dead in tow across Norfolk Southern trackage to Roanoke, arriving in time for the return of famed Class J steamer N&W No. 611 to operation in late May 2015.
Built in 1942 in Roanoke and retired in 1959, the 2156 is one of only two N&W 2-8-8-2s that survive. The arrival in Roanoke of the Y6a in 2015 marked the reunion of N&W Class J No. 611, the 2156 and N&W Class A No. 1218, the first such reunion of N&W’s three famed locomotive types built in Roanoke in more than a half-century.
