J. Neils Lumber Co. Shay 5 Cab Ride! Part 1 at the Illinois Railway Museum on July 7, 2024

We are riding along in the cab of J. Neils Lumber Co. Shay 5 with engineer Conn McCarthy, and fireman Eric Hoyem. My wife Marissa was also with for a memorable ride down the Illinois Railway Museum's mainline. Special thanks to Mr. Conn McCarthy for making these videos and the cab ride possible. Stay tuned for Part 2!!

From what I've read, that Shay is under evaluation for restoration.
