Cass Scenic Railroad

September 2 & 4, 2005

In addition to the large collection of geared steam, Cass also has a few diesels including this GE 44-tonner. It looks as if this unit is dead.

Through state funding, the water tank, which had been leaking pretty badly, was restored and is now in great condition.

Here's another diesel that appears dead. This unit has side rods and I think it is a Porter.

There is a lumber camp recreated at Whittacker station. There are several displays and pieces of equipment to look at. This huge machine is a skidder. There are plans to reinstall the mast which will make it very tall.

From the skidder, CSR #2 waits with her train.

CSR #6, a three-truck heisler, is backing up toward the water tower.

CSR #6 will assist #2 with the Bald Knob run today.

The pair simmers away at Cass while passengers board.

#2 sits infront of the company store.

WM #6 was being used today on the Whittacker run. She's huge. Actually, #6 was the last and largest shay built by Lima. This locomotive saw common carrier service for only four years before retirement.

The ruins of the Cass saw mill. This structure was similar to the East Broad Top shops in that all machinery was powered by an overhead belt system.

This is the powerhouse.
