Product Features and Details
Locomotive No. 5 was built in 1912 for the Madera Sugar Pine Railroad in California. It belongs like the oil-fired Westside Lumber Locomotive No. 7 to the Shay class C, but it was wood-fired and had a massive Kobel smokestack. The railroad was abandoned in 1931, and Locomotive No. 5 was sold for spare parts. Similar three-truck Shays can still be admired under steam at the Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Railroad. This approximately 6 kilometer / 4 mile long tourist railroad was formed starting in 1967 from a partial line segment of the former Madera Sugar Pine Railroad.
