Cass Scenic Railroad

June 24, 2003

Another shot of the Bald Knob stop.

Here is another farm seen from the observation deck.

From the observation deck again, this time toward the train and picnic tables.

Bald Knob Elv. 4,842 ft. Cass 2 has started down the mountain since she will not be needed for the return trip.

Back at Cass, there is a handful of derelict diesels and steamers. Whether the following diesels can run is not known. This is South Branch Valley Baldwin
LRS-1 28.

Right behind 28 is SBVR Baldwin LRS-1 26.

Next in line is SBVR 16. I am not exactly certain on the model of these two switchers.

Last is SBVR 17 still in, heavily faded, B&O paint

This shot shows a geared Shay truck on top of a logging car. If you're the explorer type, a nice walk/hike is a must to find these diesels, old logging cars, passenger cars, and other euipment north of Cass on the former C&O mainline.

Upon walking back to the railroad, all three operating Shays are lined up for the night.

Western Maryland 6 sits silent at the Cass backshop. Her wheels and tops of the cylinders are rusty, but has fresh grease on her running gear. Weighing in at 162 tons, she is the largest, and last, shay built by Lima. She served only four years in freight service.

Cass 20 sits infront of WM 6. This tiny thing has side rods.

This is Brimstone and New River #36 She's a three-truck Shay C-70 waiting restoration that probably will never come

This is Cass 7. Trouble developed with this Shay and she fell into disrepair. Some of her parts have been used on the operating locomotives.

What is a rodded locomotive doing at Cass? This old girl was built as #612 for the US Army as the builder's plate states below. She's a 2-8-0 with superheaters.
