Artifact Overview
Ohio-based Lima Locomotive Works built a full range of steam and diesel-electric railroad locomotives from 1877-1951. This catalog featured one of Lima's signature products: Shay locomotives. Named for inventor Ephraim Shay, the Shay locomotive had a geared drivetrain that allowed it to negotiate tighter curves and climb steeper grades than conventional engines -- ideal for industrial railroads.
