    Logging locomotives have always been a breed unto themselves, just watching the driveshafts spinning around powering all the wheels is amazing.

    I am so looking forward to the day when the Cass to Durbin line will be finished when it was washed out in 1985 I thought it would never be rebuilt I just hope it wont happen again but it will be a joy to see the cass locomotives visit Durbin again I wonder when the BC&G 2-8-0 will get started on I am really looking forward to seeing that girl run again.

  • @LeviathanVZ

    When compared to other steam locomotives of the times these Shays were built, they were extremely advanced and complex. It’s a shame the technology didn’t progress further until the end of steam.

    That is a great and cool video! The shay, climax, and heisler are my 3 favorite locomotives. is it true that the state of west Virginia does not own the railroad any more? also did the railroad receive a new steam locomotive that is not a gear longing locomotive?

    • @DynamoProductions-trains

      The state still owns it, they simply do not operate it anymore. They contract the operations to the Durbin & Greenbrier Valley Railroad.

    Once the entire line from Cass to Durbin is rebuilt, will trains still depart from Durbin or will all trains be departing from Cass?

    • @thunderbird1921
      @thunderbird1921 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'm pretty sure the Durbin Rocket will still run. I believe they're going to run a river mainline train in addition to the normal Cass trips. For the first few years, one of the Cass Shays or Climax 9 will handle this train, and eventually a conventional steam engine will take over from them (Buffalo Creek #4). This is what I've heard online at least.

      No, at least it's not currently planned to. (Plans change, though) They had originally made one for the Climax, however they opted to go with the shotgun stack for her as it is what she wore in freight service.

      Correct. We film far too much to post everything we cover when we cover it. Dozens of videos go into a backlog and get scheduled for posting months, or even a couple of years after they were produced. This video was filmed in 2019, but not posted until 2020.

      Sorry, I really am not qualified to have commented. I have never gotten to go on this train yet. We retired recently and hope to see some running stream locomotives and ride on ones that take people on excursions. My daddy was an Santa Fe engineer on steam locomotives in 1947 until they were replaced with diesels. He always entertained the grandkids with a really good impression of a stream locomotive whistle and puffing of the smoke.
