Geared locomotives in early Pennsylvania? Neat! Where?

Yes, it was also neat for us as kids to learn this with our Dad. Shays, Heislers, Climaxes and even some intrepid non-geared locomotives traveled temporary railroads of varying qualities in the Pennsylvania woods of the early 1900s: Lycoming, Clinton, Centre, Union, Potter counties, much of PA. The story is told in the early 1970 series "Logging railroad era of lumbering in Pennsylvania" by Thomas T Taber and Benjamin FG Kline. Titles are many and include "The Goodyears: an Empire in the Hemlocks" by Thomas T. Taber III, "Sunset Along Susquehanna Waters" by Thomas T. Taber III , ""Wild catting" on the mountain: The William Whitmer & Sons Company and the Whitmer-Steele Company" by by Benjamin F. G Kline
