The CCRR 55to-Shay pulling a quite heavy logging train upwards the lower CCRR-Line with a grade of about 3%. Even though the Shay should have a TE of about 23-24T pounds, the log is fresh and heavy!
But shes strong enough to take it further on the upper line with 4 % Grade (seen on the right side)
The (not yet painted) wire on the front and back of the Shay is a power-line. She can give or take power to or from another loco or a accu-carrier.
The Cab at the end of the train has the wire, too. It carries a spare-accu.
The wire is also used for charging the accus.
Thats a lot of Logs !!!
