    On the topic of possesed engines, theres an i famous engine from my country that went famous because it was so troublesome that they had to clean it 'spiritually' and after that it never got possesed again
    It also had a 'son' that has the same number just different year just because it went over the platform once

      There has been numerus possesed engines from my country, its just that 8307 just got too famous being nicknamed as 'bader' and there has been rumours that general electric built the engine with the steel from a house that has a person murdered in it

      With humanoid characters so devoid of emotion that they can plausibly be considered zombies.... albeit pretty fat and well-kept zombies, considering the controller.
      Am I the only one who thought that the TV series was creepy??

    My grandpa was a furniture consultant and often traveled to the South Pacific looking for sources of mahogany wood. During one of his trips he visited the Insular Lumber Co where he saw shay 10 running. The only reason I know this is I’ve got 2 slides of that engine running. This probably would’ve been about 1972-73. I saw insular lumber in the title and had to click on it!

    When I heard "cosmetically restored" I thought that someone has looked into it and not wanting to take chances. Not to mention as a static display it would be easier to have plaques with it's unfortunate history.

    Woah, didn't expect a local locomotive would be featured here. Yes, this thing is still present and is on display in a plaza/park, along with smaller tender locomotives that worked in sugar fields long time ago, also displayed in different places around the island. There were even rare Shay locos that were once used for sugarcane hauling. Nice video, I didn't know this massive locomotive (by local standards) was very troublesome, or it could've been just too big for the local workers to handle, who knows..

    Of further note is that the lumber company got Siete used. She ran for lumber companies in the United States for several years without issue. It wasn't until she arrived in the Phillippines that her reputation began. I'm going to say that her issues were likely lack of care and maintenance, not a curse, though considering what she's been blamed for, it's hard to imagine her not being a bit upset over it all.

    "If [steam locomotives] are alive, does that mean they have personalities? And by extension, does that mean they can be... malicious?" My dude, anyone who watches Hyce on the regular can answer both questions with a resounding "yes". D&RGW #491, my example locomotive, has been described as being like "your cat, who's happy to see you home but gets angry all over again" after she ate his fire rake 😂
