Always love Shay engines❤❤❤😘
Congrats to all the volunteers who spent years getting this big Shay running again. It's a unique locomotive; there are very few left in the Midwest (especially in running condition). I have an interest in Western logging so this Shay has always been one of my favorites at IRM.
Beautiful shay locomotive 🚂
I used to be a fireman at the durango and silverton, I love the K28's, such a beautiful locomotive, but the shay....man the shay hits something in my soul and I love her. Glad to see her running again, such a historic locomotive.
The family loves this museum. I was a member but Covid came up. I will be again.
Who the eff thumbs down a steam locomotive coming back to life? Seriously now....
I’m in the Appalachian mountains, we had logging railroads in almost every holler and beside every stream. Climax and shays were commonly used, there would even be sections of tracks where the river would be low enough to lay the tracks underwater instead of building a bridge. Those were wild to see in photos. My grandfather, who was born in the 1930s used to walk the old 2 1/2 mile logging railroad bed near his house that was later used as the road even today, he found a couple of old railroad spikes and still has them hanging in an old commemorative board he made himself. Definitely a unique part of history
There’s one of these in Townsend Tenn.
J.Neils Company was a timber company that operated in the canyon area just west of Goldendale, Wash. They logged mostly big pine.
She’s a beauty!!
I love the fact you can see the moving mechanical parts in action.Hopefully there’s newcomers that help keep these works of art moving.
I've been to this museum many times, the last time being October 2018. If you have never been there, be sure to go. It will take AT LEAST a full day to see everything.
Thanks for the tip Charles ;)
You can breeze through in an afternoon, but you'll miss a LOT. And have at least one ride. Hopefully someday they can bridge the Kishwaukee and get into Huntley.
Fantastic! The one and so far the only Lima steam locomotive in the museum’s collection. Great Video. Thanks for sharing
”Keep the water boiling!”

A very dear friend of mine tried to buy this loco when it went up for bid at the end of their run for his wheat farm just west of Goldendale, Wash. He was going to build a railroad on his ranch.He was a retired steam engineer from the Santa Fe out of Clovis New Mexico.
Stay engines are among the most amazing mechanical contraptions of all time.
I'm from Illinois originally. I miss the trains the most
Wow, I've never heard of or seen such a steam engine. Fascinating!
That is a beautiful steam locomotive! Thanks for sharing!
A little Shay to get the weekend goung. Thanks for sharing!
shay what a wonderful locomotive !!!
I enjoyed it
I worked a year or two of weekends in the interurban barn, but I was continually impressed with the knowledge and skills of the steam guys.
7:30 - what they're actually moving toward right there is the streetcar loop. The main is another 200-300 yards up the track from where they are.
9:22 - crossing Central Avenue heading north, passing 50th St. station shortly.
9:45 - separated from the streetcar loop on the lead heading toward the mainline along Railroad Avenue (east side of the parking lot)
11:30 - last crossing before intersecting the mainline.
Outstanding video. I could watch this all day long 👍
Great video, my favorite logging locomotive.
Hey Blake good to see you.
What a great beast. Shays are just so cool
Haven’t been in about a decade or so and the Shay is my favorite locomotive and I’ve never had an opportunity to see one. Didn’t know we had one in Illinois and need to come see it this year!
I had no idea you guys were there that day! I hope you guys had fun!
Here in California we have quite a number of Shays in the rail museums and tourist rail sites.
Great vídeo!
My grandfather: The Shays don't move loggs and wagons, they can also move mountains.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wonderful video :)
Shays are wonderful examples of machines designed to meet a need like Fairlies and Bayer-Garrets etc. Its great to see an inventor throwing out the conventional and starting from scratch. That is what made the industrial revolution great.
ok... something I never thought I would see... A Shay and a M&E Alco in the same shot. (SHays being my favorite steam locomotives, and the Red M&E alcos were my hometown favorite. I believe I caught a ride in the 18 at a community funday at Horseshoe lake in Roxbury NJ.) great video!
I’m Glad to see Shay 5 still running. I hope it continues to run for future generations
I love Shay #5 but also love trolley #4391.
Espectacular ❤❤
A wonderful thing to behold. There's one of these in Forks, WA as well as another sitting in a park in Longview, WA. It would be fantastic to see them get going again.
i remember back in the?late '70s when #5 was sidelined due to the wood attached to the frake had wsrped
Very cool locomotive, always wanted to visit the IRM. Maybe one day
Love the engineer wearing a Santa hat! 🤣🤣🤣
Very cool. I never realized that the trucks under the tender were driven too. Extra traction.
The ultimate logging locomotive.
Interesting locomotive! And a beautiful one too! I wish they got 428 running!
That other locomotive 1636 at the start looks a lot like "Stump Dodger" 19 at the Sumpter Valley Railway.
The joys of a Detroit lubricator.
Awesome 🚂🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞
@ 3:25
What is that square container thing on the rear unit just under the headlight? Is that a sanding container?
(Edit): Yes, it is a sanding container.
That looks like a Pacific Coast Shay, with the piston valve cylindars.
Steam powered sawmill
What if IRM's shay #5 was put beside cass scenic's shay #5 ? What design differences would there be ?
When you want to have abit of steampunk at a rail museum!
That's just normal railroading
Is this the locomotive that used to be at Pt, Defiance Park in Tacoma, Wash.???????????/
how do they keep the rods lubricated
Has that Water Tank on The Shay Been Upgraded? Because it looks higher than usual.
I've always had a weekness for shays.... and locomotives from Ohio in general, no extra credit for guessing why lol
The proper term is running board, not catwalk that had to be reinstalled. It came from the fact that in earlier times, they actually were boards and not sections of steel.
Tracktive motive power
I haven't been there since 2012 - did they just scrap all the steam engines that used to sit outside where they were test running the Shay? All those tracks were full when I was there last.
They are probably not scrapped they were probably sold to other railroads or cosmetic restored and placed inside the buildings
What i the name or model of this locomotive ..?
And what should we call of this kind of locomotive propelling systems as we can see those rods turning the wheels..
Avant garde..!!
T.y.i.a for any replies..
Wait a minute? Is this a second channel of Thunderbolt 1000t Siren Productions? Cuz you sounds exactly like him!
No, I’m not familiar with that Channel.
@@TheSteamChannel Huh. Interesting.
WHY DIDNT THEY MAKE A VIDEO ON 1630
wow work fast must of had Death Wish Coffee for lunch.
That trolley was very neat. What’s the deal with it?
Chicago Transit Authority PCC #4391 (1948)
There only remaining Green Hornet left in the U.S.
Seems to be leaking quite a bit...
I have often wondered why Shay's have 3 cylinders and all others (not counting Mallet's) only have 2.
Obviously there is a good reason but I have never been able to determine why!
Three cylinder engines have the crankshaft throws spaced 120 degrees apart. This smooths the power pulses into the drive shafts to the wheels. This reduces peak loads reducing wear on the drive train.
@@gregwarner3753 I figure there was a logical reason behind it!
Thanks.
ray way? what is that? 🤣
Too bad it is the only video youtube won’t let me see…
I wonder how a 4 cylinder or a 6 cylinder Shay locomotive would look........ :-/

How about traveling cross country. Would take a human lifetime.
