Shay

The Shay is a geared locomotive. It is the cheapest geared locomotive in game, and based on the Bear Creek Lumber & Railroad's Class A15-2 Shay locomotive. Like the Montezuma and Betsy the Porter, it is one of your starting locomotive options in the Lake Valley map, and was added in the 1 Year Anniversary Update.
The Michigan-California Lumber Company’s #2 Shay is the oldest surviving Shay in the world. Built in 1884 for the Rumsey Lumber Company, the Shay quickly proved to be a boon in the logging industry, able to climb steeper grades and negotiate tighter turns than their conventional contemporaries. While stronger Shays and other geared locomotives would later designate the Mich-Cal #2 to switcher duties, the Shay design was proven and this particular model was preserved in 1953 as a testament to its successful, and long working career. The engine is on display at the Turtle Bay Exploration Park in Redding, CA.Railroads Online Official In-Game Wiki
