It's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog! Today's image is of another Shay locomotive they have at the Colorado Railroad Museum. Shay No 14 is a former Westside Lumber locomotive and is a 3 cylinder locomotive. It used to operate on the grounds of the museum before being fully retired and put on display. It was originally built in 1916 by the Lima Locomotive Works.
I had to watch some YouTube videos to understand how the steam drives the locomotive. None explained the number of cylinders but I assumed one cylinder on each side.
ReplyDeleteSO assuming I assumed correctly 😊where does the third cylinder fit in??
