Lucky for me, I got to see all the shays in action this summer at the Parade of Steam, and some bonus activity with Shay 2 and Shay 4 the next day. I’m happy there’s this footage that dang well captured the magic.
No Place like Cass! Nice Video Man! 👍👍👍 I saw where Cass is having Climax 9 do a excursion this Labor day. It says the trip is from Cass to Pine Flats... Where's Pine Flats? 😅
Thanks! Pine Flats is right near Wallnes. Wallnes was the first runby location during Rail Heritage Weekend 2023 if that helps. I'll be there that day there running the climax and the day before that for the night photo shoot!
Woah, is Shay 11 wearing Shay 5's old whistle from the 80s?! It sounds almost exactly like the one Artie Barkley put on her for a number of years. I also see they're running Shay 4 pretty regularly on the Greenbrier Express now, she's finally seeing more action again instead of just mostly sitting as a backup!
I believe you are correct. The engineer in 11 Noah is Arties grandson. Noah brings a lot of Arties whistles in and puts them on the 11. It's really nice to hear some of his whistles again. I'm also glad to see the 4 running she's one of my favorites there. Thanks for watching!
@@cassscenicproductions8888 That's amazing. He's also running an engine that his grandfather personally helped restore. There's a documentary on TH-cam made in the late 90s that briefly shows Artie leading a crew working on 11 soon after it was brought to Cass to be returned to operation (IIRC he quipped that she was bigger than most of the engines they were used to working on). Thanks for sharing!
That was well done , especially the echo in the valley.
Thanks! The echo of the whistle is definitely iconic.

Thanks! I was also there during the Parade of Steam, which was a fun time.
@@cassscenicproductions8888 I’ll definitely be going again next year. Personally my favorite display of steam ever.
Awesome! One of your best videos yet!
Thanks!
Love the intro nice addition to your videos
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!
Spot on video!! Any chance the mill/foundry across the tracks from the water tower will someday be rebuilt??
Thanks! Unfortunately, no the mill is in far too dangerous condition, and It keeps getting worse and will eventually fall down completely.
Sorry to hear that 😢

@hawkeyeten2450 No problem! I have watched that documentary. It's one of my favorite documentaries out there.
You can definitely tell that Noah has picked up a few things from Artie!
