In this image J. Neils Lumber Company 5 pulls three historic cabooses - Chicago and Western 601 (1946), Union Pacific 3786 (1942) and Milwaukee Road 01984 (1946) – toward East Union Depot.

No. 5 is a Shay, built by the Lima Locomotive Works in 1929, and was designed with three cylinders mounted vertically on the engineer’s side that powers a drive shaft running the length of the engine alongside the wheels. This allows all wheels to be powered using bevel gears.

Shays were extremely slow but were powerful and could negotiate uneven track and sharp curves, making them popular with logging and mining companies
