The Shay Locomotive Page

Columbia Falls is located in the foothills of the majestic Glacier Park in north western Montana.

Ten to fifteen miles west of the West Glacier entrance this little city is snuggled in time, almost as it was 50 years ago or perhaps longer. You see sights and scenery where ever you look. But there is one thing you don't see, you feel it. If Montana has a motto, it would be, "Strangers are only friends we haven't met."

They want to share the past with the world, so they put this relic in a little park and restored it. The following is a story in pictures taken by Wally Lee Parker in the Summer of 2007.

This is a Shay locomotive. It was designed for pulling flat cars loaded with logs out of steep and winding terrain. It traveled at an average speed of 12 miles per hour. Slow but much faster and far more powerfull than teams of mules and horses that it replaced.

This paricular machine was built in 1904. They certainly made it stout. Just look at the undercarriage. It's a masterpiece.

Far greater detail of the workings of a Shay locomotive is available in our "REPORTS TO THE CLAYTON/DEER PARK HISTORICAL SOCIETY Volume 4. The cost is $3.00 including postage. Please send your request to Mr. Bill Sebright, PO Box 293 Clayton, WA. 99110

Black is Beautiful

If one happened to be run down by one of these machines the following 5 or 6 photos will give an idea of what you will have a pretty good view of.

This is our Managing Editor, Mr. Wally Lee Parker, author, historian. Wally and his wife Pat drove to Columbia Falls, Montana to get these detailed photos of a Shay which is becoming an endangered spieces. The vast majority were scrapped by the owners when they were no longer of use.

The view down those tracks left a little to be desired

She ran once upon a time and it is not beyond reason it could very easily happen again.

I didn't see no DEAD END sign!!!!
