Description
The Heisler No. 6 steam locomotive that pulls the Durbin Rocket excursion train from Durbin, West Virginia. This engine, built in 1929, was used for logging operations and has never been out of service. About 850 Heisler locomotives were built by the Heisler Locomotive Works of Erie, Pennsylvania. Approximately 32 survive today. The Heisler is unique in that it has one cylinder on each side of the boiler slanted inward at a 45 degree angle, powering a longitudinal crankshaft. The drive shaft is geared only to the inner axle of each truck with the outer axle coupled by wheel cranks and side rods. It also has a very neat whistle!
