Built back in the day when they were building America.
Amazing machines that churn out huge amounts of power at very low rpm.
Looks like I need to go on another walkabout, this event would be high on my priority list
I would be in hog heaven, I haven't seen that many Shays in my life.Lucky guys!!
My first time hearing of, and seeing, a Shay locomotive.
Generally used for logging on poor quality rail. They are very sure footed and cope well with low quality and temporary rail.
They're All Wheel Drive, tender included. Easy to identify because of their offset boiler.
My very favorite steam engine! Did lots of posts on FNS of these geared wonders! Thanks for posting, Irish! :o)
