For all who have never been to Cass: Make a trip! You will remember it as long as you live. My father brought me here as a kid in the 2000s, it's probably one of the most beautiful rail lines of the eastern United States (a Pike's Peak or Durango & Silverton of the East). Plus, the displays and museums are nothing short of incredible. I just wish my family had better weather and more time to fully explore it and take it all in.

Amy, you are my hero! I so badly wanted to be a lady fireman!! So glad to see you doing your thing (I'm a lady blacksmith, so I do understand coal, fire, and steel). Maybe someday....
Love Cass, have ridden many times. Thank you for letting us enjoy this treasure!

This is one of the best Train Rides in the country. The switch back ride is so action packed. The Engines are incredible and the power they produce can be felt the whole ride. Other train rides are great and have very scenic views. The Cass Railway has all that plus Shay locomotives. Shay locomotives that go up a mountain.

My Grandfather Walter "Pops" Good was engineer on the train many many years. Had the pleasure of riding the train every summer when we went to visit grandma & grandpa. What a gift.

The line to Durbin is now done and 2023 is the first time excursions are being offered on the full line since 1985. I think it is time for a follow-up video.

Thank you for this video! This is the most awesome steam train video i have seen. I'm a huge steam train fan and especially love the Cass scenic railroad. Now I know the history of the railroad and timber industry up There. I work in the timber industry at a mack truck dealership. This video is by far the best one I've ever seen and I've seen alot of steam train videos. I really like how you did a documentary as well as new and old footage. 5 stars 🌟. Loved the interviews and history and loved the story on the steam skidder. Loved how you talked about God in the video. God is good.

Went to Cass West Virginia a few times with my late grandfather when I was a teenager. One trip was actually a real fan trip and it was actually my first experience with long exposure night time photography. They had set up Shane number 11 in front of the Depot as well as in front of the water tower. Many photographers were still using film at the time in the early 2000s.

Thanks for the drone shot from Bald Knob! None of the other videos I've seen show the view from up there...

My wife and I went to Cass a few years ago and I can say, I’ve never been so close to a steam locomotive in my life! That and the whistle on Shay #6 is the best whistle I’ve ever heard!

I used to watch a documentary on VHS on Cass. I heard the whistle and thought it sounded exactly the same. Makes sense if the engineer has been there 17 years.

Went there at least twice in the 1980s. My mother in law loved going here so we took her. Later in the 90s my son rented a car and took her once! Definitely worth it!

Them locomotives are amazing ive been there 3 times and each trip is always different and the people running it all are always friendly and informative I highly HIGHLY recommend going to Cass even if railroading isn't your thing.
