Cass Scenic Railroad in Cass WV boasts the largest amount of Operating Shay locomotives. And I like ‘em. They also recently restored a Class B or C Climax. Then there’s Heisler 6. Right now Heisler 6 is working on another railroad called the Durbin and Greenbrier Railroad. She’s filling in for Durbins primary power Climax 3. There’s also a track 99% complete between Cass and Durbin after a flood. I can’t wait to see train’s traveling riverside between Durbin and Cass WV. And I gotta ride the Cass Scenic Railroad up to Bald Knob. Happy Railroading Walt’s Nephew.🚂
Vancouver Islander here, I LOVE Shays! I got to work on the YD-250 Navy crane barge, all steam powered! I helped rebuild 4 Tyee engines on that. They were basically steam donkeys on a boat!

There's something about a rail line that traverses parallel to a water formation that seems absolutely magical
Wow I've always been fascinated by logging trains. And I once went to Cass back in 2008. Love those logging locomotives
Sure are lovely and powerful engines!
Legends of American locomotive power! It was these engines that helped us expand west

How wonderful! I know steam logging equipment is demonstrated sometimes today but never for actual logging purposes
I remember that in mexico only 2 shay locomotives we're built by Lima in 1887.
All of the shays we're preserved.
Glad to hear they made it into preservation!
I actually love theses logging locomotives! They actually inspired me ideas too.
Wonderful to hear! I aim to educate, entertain and hopefully inspire with these compilation so I'm glad I have helped to inspire you!
Wow A lot of power pulling that first train
Yes indeed! They went all out for that relatively small train hahaha
that whistle Kind a load
Yes indeed!
Bash dash and Ferdinand
