Reseña del editor
The geared locomotive is important in the history of logging. It mechanized the transport of logs from forest to mill. The Willamette is but a footnote with only 33 ever built. Its impact belies the small number; it brought innovations later copied by the big players: Shay and Heisler. A useful & worthy contribution to the history of rail and logging.

QUOTED IN PART from the jacket flap: "The introduction and evolution of steam-powered equipment into the forests of the Pacific Northwest helped fuel a massive surge in the logging industry. To bring the timber out of the woods, the loggers turned to special kinds of locomotives designed specifically to handle the steep grades and sharp curves presented by the terrain. These gear-driven locomotives, manufactured primarily in Ohio and Pennsylvania, opened up the forests and enabled the logger to cover territory unthinkable with the animal power used in the very early days of the industry. Growing up with the logging industry was Willamette Iron and Steel Works of Portland, Oregon, who made everything from hand tools to mighty steam-powered log skidders for gathering the fallen timber from the woods and loading them onto log trains.In November of 1922, Willamette's first geared locomotive rolled off the assembly line. Based on the Shay locomotive built by the Lima Locomotive Works of Lima, Ohio, Willamette's locomotive offered several improvements that the loggers wanted. In addition to mechanical enhancements such as a girder frame and cast-steel trucks, the Willamette offered standard equipment designed to help the operator, including an all-steel cab to keep the notorious Pacific Northwest weather at bay. So well received was this locomotive that Lima introduced its 'Pacific Coast' Shay in 1927 to thwart the threat by newcomer Willamette. ThePacific Coast Shay eventually won out, but not before Willamette had build and sold 33 of their own. The Willamette Locomotive is the definitive chronicle of these locomotives, featuring over 250 photographs including a fascinating look at some of the early geared locomotives that helped define the awesome giants used in laster years."
