HLRR Shay 3 Truck #33 - Hammond & Little River Redwood Co  Contributor's Pick!       
Built by Lima in 6/5/1922, this massive, 90 ton, three truck Shay is preserved by the Northern County Logging Interpretive Association. It began as Hammond Lumber Company (Hammond & Little River Redwood Co) No.33. After many years logging the hills around Humboldt County, it changed hands in 1944 and wound up working for Pickering Lumber Corporation at Standard, California, where it last steamed in November 1966. Some time later it was purchased by Glen Bell for display at his Westside & Cherry Valley tourist operation, but since the Shay is standard gauge (and the WS&CV was narrow gauge), it was eventually declared surplus and sold to the NCLIA in 1980.
