New York Ontario & Western Railway Y-2 class 4-8-2 Mountain steam locomotive # 457, leads a freight train on the main line with a reefer block up front as two kids on the left watch the action during the early 1940's. The Y-2 class Mountains were built by ALCO in 1929 and were very similar to the New York Central L-2c class steam locomotives. Ten locomotives in the Y-2 class were delivered # 451 - # 460. They were rebuilt and improved in later years along with a weight increase, and they provided with their booster a total of 71,868 lbs of starting tractive effort. The main driver on this locomotive appears to be a Boxpok. The two young lads sitting on the left are enjoying the steam action I am sure. Do not know the location for this photo scene. There appears to be a town with homes on the right and also a graveyard.
The name of the photographer that captured this image is unknown and it came from a photo that was on the Internet. This photo has been cropped and modified from the original to improve its appearance.
