Bill,
But hauling a trainload of coal hoppers would not look silly! Shays were used for more than hauling logs and several Class 1 railroads owned them. They were usually used for steep branches but sometimes for switching power. The most famous example is probably Western Maryland Shay #6. The C&O also owned several, including more than half of the 150 ton, Class D (four-truck) Shays Lima built. NYC had some the were enclosed for switching that involved some street trackage. And there were more, but I need to get to the basement.
