Remarks & Notes 
Meadow River Lumber Company Two Truck Shay No. 1

Steamtown's 1910 Lima built Meadow River Lumber Company 2-Truck Shay is seen here slowly rusting away at the back lot of the former DL&W shops. Looking pretty poor when captured here in May of 2021, this Shay - Steamtown's only geared locomotive, actually arrived in somewhat similar shape back in 1985, albeit, not as rusted nor faded thanks in part due to damage resulting from the collapse of the building she was housed in while at Bellows Falls, VT in February of 1982. The amount of work needed to cosmetically restore this locomotive puts it very far down on the list of priorities - if ever. She's accompanied by Steamtown's SW-8, a 1953 diesel switcher built by EMD for the Wabash, though currently sporting a Lackawanna paint scheme.
