First Time That 5 Shay Steam Locomotives Operated At Same Time! These Are Real Coal Burning Steam Engines On The Cass Scenic Railroad In Cass West Virginia. The Worlds Largest Collection Of Geared Steam Locomotives, Cass Scenic Railroad Operates On Logging Tracks & Ex Chesapeake & Ohio Railway Tracks. Lots of smoke and steam train whistles!
I left my home at 3am and arrived at Cass, West Virginia at 9am. This is Part 1 of 2 parts. We see the locomotives make 5 round trip passes from the water tower to the train station and back. Each eastbound trip the locomotives were running forward and something different was done. You will see the steam engines running single and in groups. The final pass was the grand finale with as much whistle and smoke as possible. That was really awesome and loud! I filmed at a couple of different spots. Which location and which pass was your favorite?
It was special to see Shay Number 6 back in operation. It was the final Shay built by Lima Locomotive Works in 1945. The locomotive spent 4 years in operation hauling coal before retirement.
The trains operate on 160.455 and are standard gauge. Last year Cass operated 4 Shays and a Climax locomotive. I filmed that and you can find last years Parade Of Steam in my Steam Trains play list. Part 2 will show the passenger trains pulled by the steam locomotives. They ran 2 round trip passenger trains along the river on the line that goes to Durbin, West Virginia. The line is finally open all the way from Cass to Durbin although these trains did not run the fun distance.

Filmed Saturday, June 15, 2024 in 1080p with 60fps. Thanks for watching!

Nice! My late mother-in-law would love to be here! We took her here in the 80s, and in the 2000s my oldest son rented a car and took her back to Cass again! She couldn't get enough of this place!

I used about that much steam last night to cook my asparagus. Thanks, Señor Jaws. It's good to see others enjoying the steam also.

Those Shay's are such an interesting breed of steamers. Great invention for handling the steep terrains when they were logging.

DPU. Definitely Perfect Unison. I can just picture JT there I see you and you and you. Also you had it made with all the coal smoke drifting just to the other side so you didn't have to breathe it all in and it didn't block the photos. Perfect place to just sit back and enjoy the view. Looking forward to more!

Mr. Tooth - What a great video. That's impressionist 'moving' art at its best. Thanks a lot.

I watch your videos every day. Love the pets. The steam locomotives are awesome with their mechanical functions. Like a piston engine with gear drive!
