THE SHAY ENGINE
The Shay engine was built in 1924, at the Baldwin Lima Hamilton Corporation Works, Lima, Ohio. The shay-geared class 70 three-truck locomotive 3298 was designed by Ephraim Shay for steep grades, poor track, sharp curves, and the inferior engineering of North America's logging and mining railroads. With the three vertical cylinders, the Shay locomotives were built for power and traction, not speed. Their speeds averaged only 12 - 18 MPH. Our Shay 3298 (Number 70) was believed to be the last working Shay in North America. It worked in the Iroquois Falls bush operations from 1947 to 1956, and in the mill yard until the mid 1970's. In the spring of 1979, the Shay was donated to the Town of Iroquois Falls, and became a static display next to the old train station. It is now situated in the Anson Park where it has been restored.
