Last week I posted a photograph taken during my trip to the Georgetown Loop Railroad, one of just a few slides that had been spared in the Great Flood of 2016. I was recalling that there were three of these 3-foot narrow gauge Shays operating on the line at that time. So I dug around a bit and found photographs of all three of these machines, each recorded by Brian Cazel. Unfortunately none of these locomotives are still operating on the line, their last service there occurring in 2004.
However, all of these Shays still exist. I’ve given a little information on each in the photo captions.

Jack,
those photos are great, good detail.
Great color.
Thank’s
I thank Mr. Brian Cazel for posting these photos which I discovered and shared!
Those are some beautiful Shays, Jack. I hope they don’t rot away.
cool
Yes, they are beautiful. I’m so glad I got to experience the #14 under steam in person. Riding behind it, and listening to her struggling up the grade to the trestle was a memorable event!
