Ive been riding on this engine countless times. That engineer's name is Randy - one of the best that work there.

I love it, engineer notches up the jacobs bar right out of the station. Uses the jacob bar for the throttle, while throttle itself is maybe only 5%.

Great Video!!!
I love the Shay locomotive! I have a Shay from Bachmann in H0.

Great work, Skip! Thank you! It's very hard to work on steam locos ★★★★★

Great video friend, makes you think how the railroad men worked so damn hard, imagine in the snow, blizzards, night time, they did it, hats off to them.

Great concentration to follow the engine crew's work. Lots of busy work to keep them running properly; certainly not a 1 person job! Reminds me of when in 7th grade, I'd stay in the basement running my Lionel trains in every possible configuration and complication way past the time when my folks asked me to come up. I'd still be down there with the lights out at 10:30 after the evening news, watching the head lights shadows on the walls. I didn't think the Shay crew wanted to stop ever.

after 14 is restored, i wonder what steamer would be next??

Beautiful video! It was an amazing ride! The engineers had to work together to keep her running I see. I can only imagine if they were gonna be pulling a steep grade how they would have to gauge it even closer to keep from stalling on the grade. I'm so jealous that you got to ride and I didn't...lol
That was a fun trip : >). Is that a continuous loop they'r runnin' ?
The sounds are great . .

@canyondogh yes it is a rather short loop as 2 laps take around 15-20 min to run

I didn't know #12 was operational, is there anything at the museum that doesn't run? Cool video, do you have any footage from the outside?
