The Incredible Shay Steam Locomotive (Close-Up on Gears)

The history-making Shay steam locomotive was revolutionary for its complex system of gears and joints, allowing it use every wheel as a driver and still master sharp curves, but few have ever seen them working up-close. Join me as I get a ride in the best seat on the train to see just how these gears, universal, and prismatic joints combine to let this amazing locomotive do what no other can. Filmed on location.
