This fall the Division Point and our primer steam builder Boo-Rim Precision will bring you these long awaited heavy
pusher engines that were so common in the backwoods of Virginia and the slopes of the Rockies. The N&W originally
built these monsters in 1917, just before the USRA took over the railroads for WWI. Other roads, like the Rio
Grande, purchased them second hand from the N&W to ease wartime power shortages during WWII. We will bring you
the Y-2 and the Y-2a of the N&W, although there were very few cosmetic differences between the two. Rio Grande
later purchased both types and used them very successfully as Helpers on the heavy Rocky mountain grades of
the Moffett Tunnel line and on Tennessee Pass.
