  • Cass Scenic Railroad "Parade Of Steam" featuring five Shay steam locomotives giving a great steam, smoke, and whistle show! Bonus: see how many CZcamsrs you can spot in the crowd! 😉
    Locomotive information from the Mountainrailwv website:
    #11. The No. 11 was built in 1923 for the Hutchinson Lumber Co.’s Oroville, California mill operation and rostered as No. 3. The locomotive was retired in 1965 and acquired by the Pacific Southwest Railway Museum in Campo, CA where she pulled occasional excursions until 1991. No. 11 was acquired by Cass and arrived in 1998. Following repairs, entered service in the fall of 1999.
    Shay No. 6 -- ("Big Six," Western Maryland No. 6) - C/N 3354, 1945; Class 150-3. The last Shay and second largest Shay ever out-shopped by Lima; built for use on Western Maryland’s Chaffee Branch (Garrett County, Md.) - stored first at Vindex then Maryland Junction before being removed to Hagerstown. Subsequent to WMR accepting the B&O Transportation Museum donation request, she received extensive overhaul at Hagerstown (Md.); operated in steam - trailing two cabooses - to Baltimore, 8-53; displayed in the museum’s Mount Clare roundhouse for more than 26 years, then a trade arrangement was hatched to bring her to Cass. The swap (including Cass Shay No. 1 and the ex-Army Porter 0-4-0T No. 714) was approved in 5-80; the move occurred in 8-80; picked up at Durbin by Heisler No. 6. Shay 6 was tested as far as the lower switchback on 4-1-81; excursion service debut was 5-17-81 on the former C&O Greenbrier Subdivision to Durbin. Clearance restrictions and weight brought sparing use on the actual CSRR (pulled a railfan charter to the lower switchback, 5-84); entered regular service on the thrice-weekly Greenbrier River excursions, 7-84. Track system upgrade allowed operation to Whittaker Station beginning in 6-91; extensive shopping for boiler side sheets and other repairs commenced in 10-93, returned to service 10-96. Regular Whittaker power since that time. Rebuilding of the mountain wye (used in switchback fashion to circumvent the sharp mainline curve) permitted use to Bald Knob - the first run to the top occurred during Railfan Weekend, 5-97; filled in to Bald Knob, 8-97; after several years of problems with a hot-running crankshaft, part was sent for turning and grinding by a Louisville (Ky.) machine shop and reinstalled prior to the 2000 season.
    #5. Delivered in November 1905 for the original Cass-based railroad, West Virginia Spruce Lumber Co.’s Greenbrier & Elk River R.R. No. 5 is the oldest and longest-operating Shay at Cass. At 119 year’s old, the 5 is the oldest operational Shay in the world and the official steam locomotive of West Virginia!
    Shay #2, a Pacific Coast Shay, was constructed in July of 1928 for the Mayo Lumber Company of Paldi, Vancouver Island, British Columbia. A Pacific Coast Shay is a souped-up model of the class C-70 3 truck Shay. The Pacific Coast features superheat, a firebox that is 13 inches longer, lower gear ratio, steel cab, cast steel trucks, and steel girder frame (seen below). A feature of the steel girder frame is the large opening for exposing staybolts. Also, the cylinders were designed so they attached only to the locomotive frame, rather than to the boiler shell as in other Shays. This allowed for easier access and maintenance. #2 is the only Shay of it’s kind in the east. Shay #2, originally a wood burner, spent its working commercial life with four companies in British Columbia including Lake Logging Company, Cowichan Lake B.C. and Western Forest Industries, Honeymoon Bay, B.C. Later converted to burn oil then rebuilt to burn bituminous coal at Cass, #2 is the only known Shay to have used all three types of fuel. The locomotive ended its career switching cars on Vancouver docks in 1970, making it one of the last commercially-used Shays.
    #4 . Built in 1922 for the Birch Valley Lumber Co. in Nicholas County, the Shay was acquired by the Cass based Mower Lumber Co. in 1943 & pulled the final log train off of Cass hill in June 1960. The locomotive was the original road engine for the Cass Scenic Railroad during the inaugural 1963 season.
