In 1877, Ephraim Shay came up with a radical design for a logging locomotive that featured a side- mounted set of cylinders. These drove drive shafts, which powered the wheels of both the locomotive and tender. This ¿geared locomotive¿ offered a distinct advantage, in that the entire weight of the engine developed tractive effort. The Lima Locomotive Works of Lima, Ohio, produced the first Shay in 1880. Less than a decade later, the company was producing five different types of Shays, and shipping them throughout the world. The last Shay was built in 1945. Lima produced its last steam engine in 1949, and merged with Baldwin in 1951.

Book excerpt: "2,768 locomotives constructed over a period of 65 years, for customers around the world, in a a myriad of designs. That was, and is, the Shay. The authors have spent more than two decades researching the Shay locomotive, its design, its ownership, its strengths, and its weaknesses. The result is a pictorial and technical narrative about a locomotive type that changed the industry and, arguably, altered the development of a country. It is a story intertwined with the industrial development of a nation through two World Wars, the Great Depression, and several financial panics. It is a story of invention, innovation, and change, both in the locomotive and in the industries for which it labored. This is the story of the Shay."--Dust jacket.

Download or read book Pacific Coast Shay written by Ralph Daniel Ranger and published by San Marino, Calif. : Golden West Books, c1964, 1974 printing.. This book was released on 1964 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The geared locomotive was born of sudden need back in the 1870's and the Shay was the first and most numerous of this bizarre breed. Its sound was enough to send the unitiated scurrying into the brush, for it gave the impression of a charging monster, flying past at a mile-a-minute speed. In actuality, though, the din of steam and metal was deceptive and bore little relation to its leisurely pace. The Shay locomotive attained its peak of popularity during the 1920s and no fewer than 500 of these machines were in use on the West Coast. The famous Pacific Coast type was first introduced in 1927 as a last-ditch effort to induce the western lumber industry to continue to log vast stands by Shay locomotives." --Fron inside of book jacket
