The locomotive pictured in front of the Cass Shop is a Heisler. The Heisler is more efficient and faster than the Shay but not as good on steep inclines or poorly laid rails.
The fellow I spoke with at the Cass Shop said it was like the Heisler was designed by scientists and the Shay was designed by loggers.
