Description

This is a coal-burning, Heisler-type, geared steam locomotive that pulls modern tourist trains for the Cass Scenic Railroad and the Durbin and Greenbrier Valley Railroad in West Virginia, USA. The engine was built in 1929 and initially used as Meadow River Railroad # 6. It is seen here waiting for push a tourist passenger train in Durbin, West Virginia in May 2016. The engine with tender runs on three bogies, each with two axles. The wheels on each bogie are joined with a bar and each bogie is driven by the longitudinal drive shaft from the engine.

Heisler-type locomotives had a V-shaped arrangement of cylinders that rotated a centrally-located, longitudinal drive shaft just beneath the engine.
