The Shay Locomotive - An Illustrated History
is the most complete, thorough, and accurate book ever produced on this unique and storied locomotive.
2,768 Shay locomotives, constructed over a period of 65 years
, for customers around the world, in a myriad of designs.
The authors have spent more than two decades researching the Shay Locomotive, its design, its ownership, its strengths and weaknesses. They
collected photos and organized the information in this all-new volume. The result is a pictorial and technical narrative about a locomotive type that changed an industry and, arguably, altered the development of the United States.
It is a story interwined with the industrial development of the United States through two World Wars, the Great Depression, and several financial panics. It is also a story of invention, innovation, and change, both in the locomotive and in the industries for which it labored.
The book features:
600+ pages and 1,000+ photos, illustrations, and drawings
Complete listing of every Shay built by shop number, by owner/operator, and by location
Lima’s involvement in the Shay from the first locomotive by Ephraim Shay in
1881 to the last Shay built in 1945
Photographs of every single surviving Shay
3 Appendices of Patents, Drawings, and Specifications
Wrecks and mishaps
Mechanical evolution, and so much more!
