QUOTED IN PART from the jacket flap: "The introduction and evolution of steam-powered equipment into the forests of the Pacific Northwest helped fuel a massive surge in the logging industry. To bring the timber out of the woods, the loggers turned to special kinds of locomotives designed specifically to handle the steep grades and sharp curves presented by the terrain. These gear-driven locomotives, manufactured primarily in Ohio and Pennsylvania, opened up the forests and enabled the logger to cover territory unthinkable with the animal power used in the very early days of the industry. Growing up with the logging industry was Willamette Iron and Steel Works of Portland, Oregon, who made everything from hand tools to mighty steam-powered log skidders for gathering the fallen timber from the woods and loading them onto log trains.In November of 1922, Willamette's first geared locomotive rolled off the assembly line. Based on the Shay locomotive built by the Lima Locomotive Works of Lima, Ohio, Willamette's locomotive offered several improvements that the loggers wanted. In addition to mechanical enhancements such as a girder frame and cast-steel trucks, the Willamette offered standard equipment designed to help the operator, including an all-steel cab to keep the notorious Pacific Northwest weather at bay. So well received was this locomotive that Lima introduced its 'Pacific Coast' Shay in 1927 to thwart the threat by newcomer Willamette. ThePacific Coast Shay eventually won out, but not before Willamette had build and sold 33 of their own. The Willamette Locomotive is the definitive chronicle of these locomotives, featuring over 250 photographs including a fascinating look at some of the early geared locomotives that helped define the awesome giants used in laster years."

Hardcover. Condizione: New. Thirty years in the making, this new hardcover publication tells the complete story of these fascinating logging locomotives. Presented in construction number order, the articulateds are covered individually in great detail with statistics and full histories that document each locomotive from the day it left Baldwins sprawling Eddystone, Pennsylvania, factory to its ultimate disposition. Between 1909 and 1937, the Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, produced 44 specialized locomotives that were either built for, or later transitioned to, the rigors of hauling raw logs on railroads where the grades were steep and the curves many. While all of these locomotives were built as articulated they varied greatly in design and appearance. Most were built as compound articulateds (Mallets) but two companies, Weyerhaeuser Timber Company and the Uintah Railway, received simple articulateds. Water carrying methods were also wide-ranging. While most were built as tank locomotives others were equipped with a separate tender. Furthering the variations from as-built configurations, several of the tank locomotives were later converted by removing the side or semi-saddle tanks and adding a conventional tender. While most of the logging articulateds toiled away in relative obscurity, several gained acclaim for their well-traveled longevity. Remarkably, ten of the locomotives have survived and several of those remain active over a century after their construction. Beyond the exhaustively researched text, Timber Titans: Baldwins Articulated Logging Locomotives features 455 Black and White and Color photographs that have been painstakingly restored to their original appearance. All have been reproduced in high resolution with many presented full page. Additionally, two full-color drawings, four three-dimensional renderings, and an original oil painting for the cover, were all commissioned specifically for this 256-page volume.

Along with its competitorsShay, Heisler, Willamettethese geared engines tolerated track that was thrown down on the slightest of roadbeds, through creeks, around sharp curves, and up grades far beyond the abilities of all but rack railroads. These qualities appealed to mining and logging operations where the low speed, constant lubrication and shopping were acceptable. The Climax was built from 1888 to 1928 in two foot to eight foot gauges weighing from 12 to 90 tons and advertised to run on wood or iron rails. Here are some 650 b&w photos of the funny little beasts. Only a certifiable foamer could care about the dozens of pages that track the 1,035 units built. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall.
