My Brother in Law Ralph, took this photo for Me at the Rock River Thresheree in Edgarton Wisconsin on labor day weekend of 2007.Locomotives like this one represented in miniature, were of an industrial design utilized in Logging, Mining, and various Industrial applications. They were shy on speed, but had tremendous torque and good tracking qualities.
A number of surviving former logging shays,have found a new lease on life today, by pulling excursion trains on tourist railroads.
