    I used to be a fireman at the durango and silverton, I love the K28's, such a beautiful locomotive, but the shay....man the shay hits something in my soul and I love her. Glad to see her running again, such a historic locomotive.

    Congrats to all the volunteers who spent years getting this big Shay running again. It's a unique locomotive; there are very few left in the Midwest (especially in running condition). I have an interest in Western logging so this Shay has always been one of my favorites at IRM.

    I’m in the Appalachian mountains, we had logging railroads in almost every holler and beside every stream. Climax and shays were commonly used, there would even be sections of tracks where the river would be low enough to lay the tracks underwater instead of building a bridge. Those were wild to see in photos. My grandfather, who was born in the 1930s used to walk the old 2 1/2 mile logging railroad bed near his house that was later used as the road even today, he found a couple of old railroad spikes and still has them hanging in an old commemorative board he made himself. Definitely a unique part of history

    A very dear friend of mine tried to buy this loco when it went up for bid at the end of their run for his wheat farm just west of Goldendale, Wash. He was going to build a railroad on his ranch.He was a retired steam engineer from the Santa Fe out of Clovis New Mexico.

    I worked a year or two of weekends in the interurban barn, but I was continually impressed with the knowledge and skills of the steam guys.
    7:30 - what they're actually moving toward right there is the streetcar loop. The main is another 200-300 yards up the track from where they are.
    9:22 - crossing Central Avenue heading north, passing 50th St. station shortly.
    9:45 - separated from the streetcar loop on the lead heading toward the mainline along Railroad Avenue (east side of the parking lot)
    11:30 - last crossing before intersecting the mainline.

    Shays are wonderful examples of machines designed to meet a need like Fairlies and Bayer-Garrets etc. Its great to see an inventor throwing out the conventional and starting from scratch. That is what made the industrial revolution great.

    I have often wondered why Shay's have 3 cylinders and all others (not counting Mallet's) only have 2.

    • @gregwarner3753
      @gregwarner3753 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Three cylinder engines have the crankshaft throws spaced 120 degrees apart. This smooths the power pulses into the drive shafts to the wheels. This reduces peak loads reducing wear on the drive train.

      its the "Shay" type locomotive, theyre mostly used on logging railroad due to their design being a gear propelled instead of conventional valvegear propelled, this will make it able to go thru steep moutaineous inclines and have massive power but sacrifice speed
