The Last Narrow Gauge Shay Ever Built

Hesston Steam Museum is home to Oregon Lumber Company #7, the last narrow gauge Shay locomotive ever built, and one of only a few still running today.
If that weren't impressive enough, this locomotive worked several, different jobs on its way to Hesston, and managed to escape the scrap heap an amazing four, separate times.
We'll talk about this locomotive, and also what makes the entire Shay locomotive special.
