For nearly 40 years a single shop in Corry, PA was busy day in and day out producing one of the most successful geared locomotives of all time, the Climax Locomotive.
The Climax was second only to Lima's Shay in production totals. In this first scene we see the plant floor covered with Climax Locomotives under construction. There are Class A types (lower right front) and 2-truck Class B types (directly in front of the A) and 3-truck Class C types (back left) under construction on this day in 1914. Can you imagine the noise that this shop produced?
