Where is this Shay running?

they were used to climb 18 degree grades and pull cut logs, modern trains couldn't then and cant now do what a shay could do

Nice shot of the Shay's drivetrain. It's fun being near or on a consist being pulled by a Shay when it's up near full speed. The roar coming out the stack at about 15 MPH is awesome! Not very fast as others have stated, but you can surely experience the ample low geared torque. Would be nice to give credit to the road you were filming. YMSPRR?

i love the shays...and from what i know about em, they were used mainly in the steeper terrain of the west lol

@luridplanet For all the power the Shay system had, it was very slow. The main Railways were always looking for ways to go faster.

It was a great technical advance over "rod" locomotives. I'm surprised it didn't completely replace them after Shay's patents expired. But by then, diesel engines had been developed

yep they do, the drive shafts down the sides have expansion joints. that's the square box tubes you see. the round ones are the u joints, but the boxes allow them to change in length depending on which way it's turning or if it is on uneven track.

Cool video, but I'd like to ask, does the Shay have swiveling bogies? If so, how does the linkage work??
Thanks in advance.
