==Tillicum Park== [[File:Forks WA Shay Engine.JPG|thumb|left|Forks Shay Engine]] Forks displays one of a few [[Shay locomotive|Shay engines]] remaining in Washington. Shay locomotives are unusual in that they have a crank shaft running down the side, powering all wheels. They were designed to be used to transport lumber out of forests. [[Rayonier]] #10 (c/n 3348) was built for stock by [[Lima Locomotive Works|Lima]] in 1930. It has three cylinders and three trucks. The Ozette Timber Company bought it 11 years later. In 1945 it was acquired by Rayonier for their lumber operation near Forks. It was retired near the north end of Forks in Tillicum Park in 1959. The Forks Lions Club erected an attractive shelter over the #10 in 1999. It has also built and maintained most of the structures in the Shay Tillicum Park over the last 40 years.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://wasteam.railfan.net/parks.html |title=Washington Parks and Static Displays |access-date=September 2, 2007 |archive-date=May 16, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080516081326/http://wasteam.railfan.net/parks.html |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>Andrew Craig Magnuson [http://www.craigmagnuson.com/oldtrain.htm Lima 3-Truck Shay Forks, Clallam County, Washington]</ref><ref>[http://www.forks-web.com/fg/anglers.htm Anglers Paradise]</ref>
