Rode this railroad with my late wife and friends in the 90s. It was a great little trip that I strongly recommend.

[@DynamoProductions-trains]

Great place every time.

[@ArchTeryx00]

What a fantastic railroad this is. Bet the views on it are to die for, the rolling stock is something special - a working three-truck Heisler! - and it brings money and tourists into the town. Awesome.

[@redstripecougar4186]

Heisler? Oh, so that's what the other odd locomotive in this video is called? I recognized the Shay locomotives, but that other one, with the cylinders mounted at angles on each side of the boiler, is new to me. I would seem to me that either a Shay or a Heisler locomotive could be made extremely versatile if it were given a transmission with multiple gears, like a motor-car. Of course, that's also something else to break down.

[@ArchTeryx00]

@@redstripecougar4186 Well, cars are designed to handle many different types of conditions and tasks. There's SOME specialization (like trucks vs. cars) but there isn't that much of a difference. The geared locos - Shay and Heisler/Climax locos - were specially designed for one purpose: Extremely high torque on narrow gauge lines. They were designed to haul HEAVY loads up very steep grades, often over temporary or rough track. Adding a transmission/gearbox wouldn't have added any flexibility to their function, but would have added a LOT more machinery to break down. And they already were maintenance nightmares! They remain what they always were - a way to haul really heavy shit up really steep slopes really s....l...o...w...l....y. But they sure make for an awesome show for a tourist railroad!

[@bproudd]

I worked 2 summers as a stoker both on #5 and #7 when I was in my early 20's. To this day, best job I ever had. #6 the middle Shay in display is the largest shay locomotive in the us. A true beast.

[@everettmeehling1835]

6 is actually not just the largest in the US, but the world. She was outsized only by the C-150-4 series shays, such as the WVP&P no. 14 which was based at Cass. All of which are gone. Out of curiosity, as someone whos fired coal fired steam engines before myself, do you have any knowledge on how firing shay 7 compared to shay 4? Since the two are both C-70-3 series shays, but hardly identical.

[@bproudd]

@@everettmeehling1835 sadly, I never got the opportunity to fire #4. However, I can tell you every locomotive is different and tick in different ways. #7 was temperamental when at %80 or below our working tonnage, she preferred to haul heavy. She also preferred coal ON DEMAND, instead of in advance like many do. I chalk that up to the thinner fire box. #7 also had a lower pressure relief then the other shay #5 I fired...... which would always surprise me inconveniently. As for #4, I only remember the gripe that she was slightly under powered during the spruce grade but quite frankly they all are during peak season.

Short long would mean the train is approaching people or machinery near the track, this is usually followed by short pause repeating until the head end of the train clears the obstacle. I think the whistle call most people associate with trains is long long short long- grade crossing.
