It most certainly was. Since the y6s were mallets, they used low pressure steam in the front cylinders. The cylinders had to be big to give them a good horsepower rate with low pressure steam
Norfolk & Western was the King of steam locomotives. I have the book America's last steam railroad which is about the Norfolk & Western railway. O. Winston took all of the photos of Norfolk & Western steam operations in the mid to end of the 1950's.
They tried to get away with exactly what you’re talking about. Eventually they cut their losses and determined that steam locomotives were simply too expensive to run en masse. They tried to hold on as long as They could but it was simply a matter of when not if they would dieselize.

I like the Y6 Class, But I just love the A Class mainly because of 1218
My parents once rode an excursion behind 1218. The stack talk and whistle were near deafening.

@@Redwagon2012 I know. I hope to one day go there and see that wonderful engine in person.
@@SouRwy4501Productions yup
