Steam locomotive valve gear

Some UP Mountains and a small group of 2-10-2's had Young valve gear. It's driven by a single link connected to the crosshead and there's no eccentric crank.. There appears to be a bellcrank near the front, but I'm not sure how it works. It was never removed and some of the last 2-10-2's on the system had it, so UP was apparently satisfied with it, but not enough to use it on anything else. Does anyone know the story on this one? Did any other railroads use it?
