Roaring Camp Railroads - 'Dixiana' Shay #1

Roaring Camp Railroads. Felton, CA - Dixiana Shay #1.

Dixiana Shay #1
Built in 1912, this engine was originally owned by the Alaculsy Lumber Company, and was used on the Smokey Mountain Railroad in Tennessee. The Dixiana is named for a small narrow gauge mining railroad, now abandoned, out of Dixiana, Virginia. Notable characteristics include the boiler, which was set left of centerline to compensate for the weight and position of the engine-giving it a lopsided appearance-and the engine design of a three cylinder exhaust system.
