The two Y Class locomotives were ex LMS 3F Jinty Tanks converted from the British Standard Gauge of 4ft 8 1/2 in to the Irish Standard gauge of 5ft 3in.
The conversion took place in 1944, new boilers were installed in them at the same time.
The locos were put to use in the Belfast area running to and from the dock area.
These locomotives designed by Fowler and introduced by the LMS in 1924 were intended for general shunting, station pilot and short trip working being a development of the Johnson Midland Railway Jintys of 1899.
