Tis is beautiful Shay - it is such a shame that there's no funding to run her!! On the other hand it costs a fortune (and then some) to run a private railroad !!
-
What a lovely whistle! That engineer could really make it "sing" The Shay @ Yosemite Sugar Pine (in Northern, CA) has a nice whistle too. I got to ride in the cab there.

Good for you !
But here it's a video about a 2-truck Shay that is not at CSR, nor at Roaring Camp. And she deserves her 15 minutes of fame just because she exists !
That's it.

Very Neat old Locomotive. I got a kick out of seeing those push pockets on the corners. They have them painted Red. That is an awesome sounding bell it has.
-
I hope so, the 25 is a neat engine, but nothing compared to the shay.

My first ever steam cab ride was aboard this darling little hog in the summer of 1974. She may yet run again. Sure hope so! Thank you for posting!

Nice shots! Is this a Lima engine?
kleetus92 3 years ago
Yes, it's a 1911 - 42 ton Class B 2-truck Shay locomotive built by Lima Locomotive Works in Ohio for the Bloedel Stewart & Welch company as No. 1
You can check for her on the bcforestmuseum web site

Interesting... the Foster Brook & State Line engine is a 1920, #3118 build, built originally for Goods Road Construction Co. of St. Lois. According to Doug, this is 1 of only 5 24 inch gauge engines with 3 cylinders built. He thought his was the only one left operating. Might be good to get these guys talking!

From one former BCFmuseum who saw my vids and mailed me privately: That Shay is now stopped and set on display. No plans - and funding - to repair her. So, I'm proudly posting these two videos of her running. And, as a tribute to its engineer who past away the year after I visited him and made this film.
