My only disappointment about being on this excursion was a mostly flat grade and didn't get to hear the shay work as much. Nevertheless I'm sure it was a nice break for her :)
She's been in the Cass shops for years now getting repairs. I've ridden behind her up the mountain to Bald Knob right before her repairs. Don't remember what year it was. She should be back up and running hopefully by early next year. They will not be running 6 up to Bald Knob anymore due to the weight of the loco messing the tracks up. She will most likely be used on the Greenbrier line. Ik I'm a nerd lol.
Nothing like a North American loco whistle and indeed a Shay locomotive is quite unique. Great scenery!
Western Maryland Shay 6 is a nice Shay steam locomotive at Cass. A pretty Shay locomotive.
Never thought I'd see a shy from cass head someone other than bold knob
Wow, the gas prices on that sign at 9:17 really take you back to those pre-recession days. Good stuff, man!
Perhaps if those prices rise high enough we'll see more steam trains, or at least according to Ross Rowland.
Those prices were a nightmare, especially in California!!!!
Nr. 6 is a beast

Neat to see wm 82 being dragged around not many bl-2s left
Awesome video
Did WM 67 come from the Potomac Eagle Scenic Railroad?
Very late response but yeah it came from the Potomac Eagle. It ran there as CSX 118.
Very nice video!
Which railroad is this?

She is back out in operation now. Finished with overhaul in September I think.
Gets hit by train while reading watch out for trains sign.
Those GoMart gas prices though... 😤😤😤 Didn't travel much.
