    Wow -- I had no idea that the WM's Shays were so large! I've never seen a picture with people around one.

    Nice shots everyone!

    WM #6 was the second largest Shay ever built at 162 Tons. Also the last Shay built.

    That's why they call it "Big 6".

    Oh just wanted to tell you guys the local was idling in the small 2 track yard a mere 7 minutes away from my club the All Points North it is a giant club and I also wanted to tell that I wasn't trespassing I was on a road a few feet from the yard and the office.

    That Shay looks as good as she did when she was first built!

    Man, the size of Big 6 is sure evident when there are people in the photo. Really got to get to Cass someday. Nice work, everyone.
