<p>One challenge for the N&W nearing the end of steam was that it was becoming harder to get appliances that were needed; since the lubricators, dynamos, injectors, feedwater heaters, ect, ect. were outsourced and built by Nathan, Franklin, Elesco, (And so on...)</p> <p>As almost every other railroad had done away with steam, many of these companies had gone under and the N&W could not get the things that they did not build themselves. Probably one of the many reasons a large order of "home-built" Y7's was canceled.</p>
