I remeber this locie when it was on static display at the B.C. Forest Museum. is it still burning wood or was it converted? This is a classy video thanks for posting it
Great video, thanks! We have one of these steam baby's near me. When that thing comes through the trees like a stampeding buffalo herd, it is quite an experience to see and hear. No wonder the natives freaked out.
Shays were a very common on logging railroads in BC. Along with Climax and Hiesler locomotives. Mayo No.3 was restored by the BC Forest Museum in Duncan, BC but worked for years on the Mayo Lumber Co. at Lake Cowichan
The CPR shays were actually used on the Warfield hill outside of Trail and the now abandoned branch line to the mines at Phoenix, BC from Grand Forks.
is this shay running today??

I never even knew there is a Shay in Canada? I think the CPR used them at Field at one time, along with the old 0-6-6-0's, nice vid

Diesel? Shays normally burnt wood not even coal.
