A special thanks to the fine folks at www.shaylocomotives.com for all their diligent research into the history of each and every Shay. It's thanks to them that I was able to piece together the history of some of these units once they left the D&RGW.

Notes:
1 - Originally built for Guayaquil & Quito Railway in Ecuador as their #17. The order was cancelled after construction but before delivery, and the Copper Belt bought the unit. 2 The boiler from 151 supposedly went to Willapoint Oyster Company of Bay Center, WA.
