Shay Loco
Shay locomotives were specialized locomotives, where the steam driven pistons were all on one side, roughly in the middle of the loco, and drove all wheels through geared drive shafts. The main advantage being that the full weight of the loco was distributed evenly across all driven wheels, maximizing traction.
