Remarks & Notes |
In a volcanic fury of smoke and screaming high pitched 3 chime whistle, 106 year old Shay 5 does what she was built to do as she storms out of the woods on a comparatively light grade and prepares to surmount the 9% approach to Bald Knob. In the logging days, the tracks veered off the the right of the photo at the crossing and looped around the summit. The direct approach was laid once the line became a tourist hauler. |
