Please be Patient! Large, Detailed Photo Loading..

Finally! "The Real Thing"! The #2 Shay of the Michigan-California Lumber Company, Exquisitely Painted by the Factory as it looked towards the end of its long, colorful career! The "Worlds Oldest Living Shay Locomotive!" Mich-Cal #2 was constructed in 1884! 'Way back before the turn of the century.. ( The 20th century, mind you! ) And it was in service right up until the end of operations in 1951.. Rumor has it that it was re-fired at least once after that time by a group of enthusiasts operating under the name of "Camino, Cable & Northern"... It is now on permanent display in Redding, California..
