Hi everyone!

Thanks for your responses, I really enjoyed reading them. My thirst for knowledge has not been quenched yet, however, so I am looking for in-depth books about Shays and Climaxes (especially since the Climax Locomotives website is broken and no longer shows any info). I already have Jim Gertz’s book on Willamettes and the book “The Heisler Locomotive 1891-1941” by Benjamin Kline. I don’t have anything for Shays or Climaxes. Any suggestions?

Also, I think I saw a book specifically on Pacific Coast Shays somewhere. Anyone have knowledge of this book?

Thanks in advance,
Eric
