Cass Scenic Railroad: A Parade of Steam

On Saturday, June 20, 2020, the Cass Scenic Railroad, along with Walter Scriptunas II, held a "Parade of Steam" in celebration of West Virginia Day, and a way to welcome everyone back to the Cass Scenic Railroad before their first passenger train on July 4th.

On this day, we are able to see five of their operational geared steam locomotives with Shays 2, 4, 5, and 11, along with recently restored Climax 9 doing the honors.

This was a great event and I am extremely happy and fortunate to be able to attend.

I would like thank Train Chamber for allowing me to use one of his shots for a second angle.

Whistles:

Shay 2 - Lunkenheimer 3 Chime
Shay 4 - L&N 3 Chime
Shay 5 - Lunkenheimer 3 Chime
Climax 9 - Crosby 3 Chime
Shay 11 - C&O Hooter

I love Shay steam locomotives. Cass Scenic Railroad has a great way of operating these locomotives along with their Climax No. 9 that they restored back in operation since 2019. I am going to be visiting Texas this summer of 2020. And also these two railroad places. The Texas State Railroad in Rusk and Palestine, Texas for July 3rd 2020. And the Museum of the American Railroad in Frisco, Texas for July 5th 2020.

11:08 Shave and a Haircut! I love how one of the engines would do the beginning part and then another engine would do the last two notes.
