Description: The "Sierra" was a 42-ton Shay-type geared locomotive, operated by the Shaver Lake Railroad. The railroad was operated in conjunction with the lumbering activities at Shaver Lake, and had no rail connection with the outside world. After the logging operations were closed down in 1921, this locomotive went to the S. J. & E., which used it occasionally for switching, until abandonment in 1933.
