- The Forest Discovery Centre in Duncan BC Canada has one of the very few extant Shay locomotives. They are concluding a six-year restoration project that will see it operating again in 2023. This steam locomotive is a beautiful piece of engineering and technology as well as a vital link to the lumber industry history of Vancouver Island. It will also begin operating passenger trains to carry visitors to the popular heritage site - an attraction that pleases the whole family. Alf Carter, President of the Forest Discovery Centre tells the story of the restoration as we catch views of the engine.
Great presentation.
I will come from Manitoba to see it, when it is back in operation.
Mark - they tell me they anticipate that the engine should be in operation in summer 2023.
Congrats to the entire team! Looking forward to seeing her in steam once again!!
Bravo! to John and team at Nauticapedia for this video, and to Alf Carter and team at the BCFDC.
Thanks Alf. What a great video. Well done.
That's awesome I can't wait to ride behind it again. Is it operational now?
Now it's operational. But only at summertime on weekends
