This book shows the details of this unit as it sits today. Climax Locomotives were designed for the same purpose as the Shay, Heisler, and Williamette locomotives. They all were designed to transfer the steam power through gears to the trucks in one way or another instead of a direct link as is common on normal steam locomotives. This allowed them to run slower and yet be able to pull more of a load up steeper grades, over poorly laid and uneven track thus they were perfect for logging operations nationwide. One of the most common customizations by customers was to change out the truck gauge. They could use Standard or Narrow gauge trucks.
