One thing about these engines ive learned is that they can shake quite violently at certain speeds thanks to the angle of the cylinder block. Theres a film on mount rainier scenic when they had to run trains of rock to fix a bridge thanks to a wash out, the camera is on the engine and above like 8 mph up to 12 mph it shakes so bad you cant tell whats what in the film.
@@russellgxy2905 PBR has a SA NGG16, an Ex Victorian Railways G class (the only one left) and Climax. Also a handful of Ex Victorian Railways NA classes
If you want a story that seems unbelievable, you can do a video on is when the Rio Grande Southern somehow got, as Hyce put it, got all of its locomotives stuck in the snow. TLDR: RGS number 20, 22, 41, 42, 455, goose #7, DRGW 458, DRGW 271, got stuck in some form. 1 plow, wrecking crane, and rotary plow also got stuck. The DRGW 458 and 271 were borrowed.
Followed by the time 491 got stranded on Cumbres Pass with 2 plow trains and 2 rotary trains searching for her in the winter of '51-'52 (yes, she was stuck for that long)
Hummm, talking with the maintenance crew at Cass, WV where they run both the Climax and the Shey locomotives. They'll tell you that the Climax break down more often and is a pain to repair.
@@CPD0123a no that’s just how the climaxes are designed. Go look up Mount Rainier scenic and the rock trains. Video and they’ll tell you about their climax. , and climax number nine in Casper, West Virginia, as a newly restored locomotive, and it still breaks down more than the 11 year old boiler ticket Shay 11
Your videos about different types of locomotives (especially rare ones) are fascinating and inspiring! I’m planning on building 9v LEGO Galloping Goose and now, Scott’s patented engine 😅 One day soon those train videos will go up. Thank you for the inspiration!
There's an operating Climax locomotive in New Hampshire at a tourist attraction called Clark's Bears. I remember seeing it as a child and wondering why it had only two tiny driving wheels that weren't touching the rails! In spite of its humble surroundings it's a nice-looking engine and well cared for. I think it's one of only four operating Climaxes worldwide.
You mentioning that Climax's often got converted to internal combustion just reminds me of that one Shay owned by a Canadian logging railroad, that got such a thorough conversion to diesel, that all that really remained was the below the frame... So thorough in fact that it lasted into the 90s I'm pretty sure...
I always found it very appealing and impressive. That many of these locking locomotives were mainly built out of cheap necessity and with limited resources and yet they are some of the most versatile and powerful locomotives. I will always love the shade and the climaxes equally. It’s the same that Scott wasn’t able to cross it off of his great invention
Excellent video, well researched and done! A fun additional tidbit of information on these engines; Class B and C Climaxes did suffer from one very notable achilles heel. Because of the inclined cylinders, at higher speeds, the engines were prone to extreme vibrations and it was an issue that was never fully rectified. If you search up videos on Moore Keppel #9 and Hillcrest Lumber Co #10; you can often see the vibration, as well as hear it if the whistle's being blown, as it'll warble. The vibration was so bad, in fact, that the Climax Locomotive Co's biggest source of revenue wasn't selling locomotives - it was selling spare parts to fix bits on the Climaxes that had shaken themselves apart. That being said, they did their job well and packed one helluva punch compared to Shays and Heislers of a similar weight.
@@marcusthetenderengine699 was a huge fan when I was little. Thought it was the best thing when my parents bought a house next to some railroad tracks. I loved watching the train role by
Four of the preserved Climax locomotives are in New Zealand. I was lucky enough to see one of them at a museum on the South Island's West Coast back in October, and apparently, another one is under restoration in the North Island.
Little-known fact: Because of incredibly-tight curves and turnouts, Shays, Climaxes and Heislers were used on dockyard and congested industrial trackwork on the East and West coasts of the US for many years. Shays weren't so good at this switching work because that right-hand-side-mounted driveshaft and couplings Did Not Like tight right-hand curves at all. The reason this part of locomotive history is little known is because most of that switching work was at night, and in dangerous areas where strangers stumbling around with flashbulb cameras were definitely not wanted. And in wartime, sudden and bright flashes around docks, warehouses and shops in the nightly gloom would get very rapid attention from the dockers, local police and FBI. But these 'geared' engines - as they were known - were built in many different gauges and exported everywhere. And they're very popular today with modelers of all gauges.
what about the Cinder Dicks? I'd imagine they'd be the second one of any semblance of authority to arrive on scene if Dockers got their hands on someone lurking about in the wee hours of night and having a Kodak VPK/Vigilante + bulb flash on their person, or a camera similar in design, capability and concealability.
@@OliverT-qt1gn I interpreted “local” as the local police garrison of the city or county (wherever the freight-handling-yard is located), as it did not occur to me that “local” here could refer to the employer and area of action of the police force. must be my German brain not translating the fine details
There’s a point relatively recently (at least two decades) where a Climax outperformed a logging Mike, even though it wasn’t a crew favorite. The Class C’s and presumably the B’s had some stability issues getting up to higher speeds. I can’t tell if it’s the process of shifting of gears that does it, or the more conventional cylinder placement transmitting a hammer blow effect to the frame and drive instead of on the rails, but 8-12 mph is a rough ride. Check out Rock Trains, it should still be up here
Even thought the inventor's name was Scott, (poor guy) the name doesn't seem to pack the same punch as Climax. Still, the thought of saying Scotts and Shays when talking about logging locomotives does sound nice. And we can't deny that Climaxes have certainly made their mark in the industrial side railroad history. Last week, I laid eyes on a G Scale Climax at my railroad museum. I hope to get an HO model of one sometime in the future.
Indeed there are very few operational Climax locomotives. You can count them easily on one hand. My personal favorite, that I have ridden aboard on a few occasions, Is former Beebe River Railroad, (then East Branch & Lincoln RR) in New Hampshire. It is still doing its job hauling tourists on the White Mountain Central RR just a mile from where it once worked in the woods.
I came with the question of why loggers love climaxes so much and now I know why loggers like climaxes so much. I also like the history of the climaxes now.
Im proud to say that the first ever standard gauge steam locomotive i saw running was the Climax at clarks trading post, she's also the last one I've seen as of me typing this, back in July of last year, definitely an eye catcher
8:30 Loco 1694, built in 1928 for 2'6" (762mm) gauge. Now owned by Puffing Billy Railway, Belgrave, Victoria, Australia. Westinghouse air brakes have been fitted and is occasionally used on special trains.
Puffingbilly railway near Melbourne Australia has a climax fully restored and operational on select days . The loco was the former forest commission Victoria locomotive.
Cass Scenic Railroad in Pocahontas County, West Virginia still runs all 3 primary logging locomotives. #9 Climax, #6 Heisler and #5 Shay all run passengers up to Whittaker Station and Bald Knob, at the top.
Fun facts, Corry, Pennsylvania, home of the Climax locomotive works, is only about 35 miles from Erie, PA, where the Heisler logging locomotives were built. Erie is still cranking out locomotives at the old GE locomotive works, now owned by Wabtec. "Wab" being corporate shorthand for Westinghouse Air Brake.
If anyone wants to take a deeper dive into climax design, I recommend Kozo Hiraoka's book "Building the Climax". It's also amusing when your friends notice it on your bookshelf.
Engine At 8:14 is not a climax converted to internal combustion. That is something known as a Dunkirk. Dunkirk was a competitor to Climax, and made a very similar locomotive. They also produced a variation on the Shay design, though the latter was not produced under license. Dunkirks were largely designed in a 'kit' for, where a company could either purchase the locomotive complete, or supply your own frame in the form of a flatcar, and purchase all the parts needed to build the locomotive yourself. Dunkirk actually produced the first Heisler, as the designer of that locomotive worked for the company at the time. However, Dunkirk did not want to produce the new locomotives, and allowed Heisler to leave the company to produce them on his own. It's been suggested that they did this, as they were worried there might be some dilution of their own products, and companies would be more interested in the new complete design, as opposed to the 'kit' locomotives they were offering, which was their big money maker.
I feel like the shay, heisler and climax were all sidegrades to each other, not necessarily upgrades. Shays could handle grades, climaxes could handle curves, and heislers were fast, so many railroads tried some combination of the three to see which one worked best for them.
Go to Cass Scenic Railroad in Pocahontas County, West Virginia USA and you can see and ride behind all 3 types of Locomotives as it goes up Bald Knob mountain.
