  • Great video! It has been added to the Official Roaring Camp Railroads youtube channel.

  • It was 43 years ago, I was 7, we rode on this train. I still remember it vividly. They stopped in the forest, and blew some steam, it was awesome.

  • what a nice shay engine I have only rode one shay locomotive andd that was in cass west virginia

  • 4' 8 1/2" between the rails actually

    & a Good vid Sunny

  • i seen this on lots and lots of trains when i was a kid

  • "Narrow Gauge" refers to the width between the two rails of the track (3 feet).

    Today, all major railroads in North America are Standard Gauge (5 feet between the rails) due to its advantages over Narrow Gauge. (higher speeds, larger trains)

    For the most part Narrow Gauge went away in the early 1900s.

  • what does 3-foot narrow gauge mean?

  • hey Sunny, I'm glad I caught your vid. Very well done. Thanks for making the effort to go up the line to get the shots. I've never been to the US (except Hawaii),so it was good see some Shay action. 8-)

  • good stuff thanks! sunny rocks @ its free @ tsg sucks and it cost$! LOL

  • Nice footage - check out the professionally produced video about the narrow gauge steam operations at Roaring Camp by TSG Multimedia. You can find the trailer on YouTube.
