John:

That's one of the reasons that the West Side & Cherry Valley ng (former West Side Lumber)tourist railroad/theme park failed in California in the early 1980s! Added to the slowness, the summer heat in Tuolumne (90 degrees F to 105 degrees F) with no wind was a killer.

BTW, is Shay 12 superheated? I don't think it is, which would limit its pulling power. Shay 8, now displayed at Canon City, is superheated, I think.

Best regards, Hart Corbett
