Heislers were designed for use on logging railroads, which usually had pretty light rails and rough roadbeds. They, and their cousins, were geared down so that they produced load-hauling torque at slower speeds. The gearing also smoothed out the power pules from the pistons, which reduced wear on the tracks.
