The Shay was one of several manufacturers that made an all wheel drive locomotive for negotiating sharp curves and steep grades in mountainous regions. This is a three cylinder three truck Shay.

Nice shot. Did you add the smoke?

Very nice image. Where is this locomotive located? Is it the one at the Hestes/LaPorte steam museum that burnt a few years ago?

Yup!

P.S. I enhanced the smoke. The "original" smoke was barely visible because they burn wood in this engine and wood produces white smoke. The usually seen black smoke comes from a coal fired engine.
