- 5 Steam Locomotives Running Back And Forth With Some Railroad Switching. Steam Powered Passenger Trains Running On Reopened Section Of Old Track. This Is The Cass Scenic Railroad In Cass, West Virginia. The Passenger Train Has A Red Caboose And Is Seen Crossing The Railroad Bridge Near The Shops. This Is The Annual Parade Of Steam.
Includes old Western Maryland Railway high rail car picking up orders on the fly. This is the first time in 50 years for that to happen. We see the steam engines going back and forth and changing tracks near the railroad shops and water tower. The line along the river has recently been restored all the way from Cass to Durbin, West Virginia. These trains are taking passengers along the river on part of that line. Check out the caboose at the end of the train! All kinds of awesome stuff in this video that I almost forgot to post. These are real steam locomotives that burn coal. Four of them are Shay locomotives and the other one is a Climax locomotive.
This was filmed during the 2024 Parade Of Steam. Cass Railroad was a logging railroad that interchanged with the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway in Cass, West Virginia. The main line that you see them operating on is the old C&O main line. Cass Railroad ran up the mountain behind the shops. The tracks are still in use for passenger trains there although the mountain tracks were not being used on the day that I was there.
Don't miss the Live Action Pets and the slide show that comes from the video.
Filmed Saturday, June 15, 2024 in 1080p with 60fps. Thanks for watching!

Full respect to the good hardworking folks of West Virginia. Always good the keep your culture and industrial history alive and pay it forward to the next generation. Great looking engines!
I loved to see Cass Scenic Railroad locos! These locos are So Beautiful!
They are! They have a bunch of them that run. Not sure how many
The whistle echoing off the mountains sounds beautiful!
The Shays are a mechanical marvel, and obviously Cass keeps them in great working order. Really cool to see all the old rolling stock, especially the WM. Great to see the CSRR is alive and well. My dad took me there years ago when I was a child. Thanks for another great vid, JT.
Great start to a Saturday..thank you Sir...God bless America ❤
Those steam whistles tickle my soul, maybe I’m from that time period. Idk but it moves me hearing them
Incredible work on the restoration of those Box cars, circa 1936, 1952
Now that's RailRoadin1
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze

Brings back the memories. In 1971 Reading 4-8-4 hauled us up
From Roncevert to Cass. Fall colors made it perfect.
Awesome!
Hey I saw Point of Rocks for a second! ✔
I want to go back there this fall hopefully
Love steam loco's and whistles. Thanks JT for bringing these to us.
Glad you like them!
They are just such fascinating locomotives. Thank you.
Glad you like them!
Cool Videos! Cool to hear the Whistles echoing around the Mountains!
Thanks!
I really enjoy your trips to CASS JT., brings back some wonderful memories. Those steam whistles sound beautiful, nice echos too.
Glad you like them! They do bring back good memories and my kids have grown up over the years and we had fun there, especially when we rented the cabins in town
I'm glad they got that stretch of track to Durbin reopened. We stayed in one of their rental cabooses several years ago. They railroad would push the caboose to what was then the end of the line down from Durbin. I got to see the washed out section of track. The damage was significant. The river washed the whole bank away, not just the tracks.
Amazing videos jaw tooth keep up the good work
Very nice video
Thanks
Just like the wild West use to be! Awesome JT. Beautiful trains & beautiful Cass. You mentioned Aug 3rd in your birthday shout outs JT, that's my birthday! 😊🚂🚂🚂❤👍
Great video, love the echo sound of the train whistle coming off those mountains.
Thanks 👍
That looked like a pretty cool place. There is a small railroad museum just 15 min from my house here in Tn. The Little River Train Museum. There is a Shay engine on display and I think was the last one used to bring logs out of the Smoky mountains back when they logged this area. I know you said in previous videos that your steam engine views were down. For me personally why I like the steam engines and they sound cool they seem kind of lame anymore. They are so outdated and don’t have a huge amount of power. They don’t have the excitement and power of standing next to the modern equipment that’s on the rails now. Thanks for making these awesome rail places available for us to see! Where I live I never get to even hear a train horn or see one. Occasionally I can hear one or see it if my timing is right when I go to Maryville Tn. and they are taking something to or from Alcoa Aluminum.😊
Wonderful video Mr Jawtooth excellent enjoy your weekend Saturday!
Thanks, you too!
Cass, WV is a delight to visit and enjoy some vintage locomotives and scenic train excursions. Trips up the mountain and a longer trip up to Durbin, WV (the past connection to the Western Maryland RR). If you can find copies, look for “The Durbin Route” and “Sawdust in your Eyes”, both about the old C&O route up the Greenbrier River and Cass, WV in its logging days. Thanks for the videos Jaw.
Happy Saturday...that last train was interesting .Never saw one quite like that drive system..pretty cool..thanks JT
Awesome place and awesome steam action Jawtooth!👍
Thanks a ton!
Excellent video, JT! Looks like all had fun 😊 Thanks for sharing!!
That was a cool-looking Caddy. I liked the airhorn on top.
There is nothing like the lonesome whistle of a steam engine.
Thanks for watching!
That's the first time I've ever seen a shaft driven steam train 🚂🚆💚💛❤️
The "Shay" types are fascinating. Many of them worked in the woods, pulling flat cars loaded with heavy fresh cut logs out of the hills on very rough and steep tracks, many of which were abandoned and torn up again after a few seasons. As you can guess, these old dray horses weren't built for speed but have tractive effort that still puts many modern diesels to shame.
@@robertf3479 I was thinking they are all wheel drive unlike most of the ones I've seen. I used to love drawing them when I was younger and the pistons were always on the bottom at the front. I had the experience riding in the cab when I was a baby but I was told I just cried with the noise.
It's called the flying Scotsman if you have seen it
Have a great weekend JT enjoy the video 📹 thanks again greetings from Scotland 😊 🏴🇺🇸
Thanks, you too!
@@JawTooth Your welcome JT thanks 😊
😊😊😊🚂🚂🚂, super, steamlokmotive 😊😊.
Thank you very much!
@@JawTooth Thank you 🙂🙂👍, every way Wathing you Chanel.
Wonderful video JT!
🚂🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃💯👍🇺🇸
Thank you very much!
Good Morning Brian and all the railfans.. Have a great weekend..
Good morning Jon and thanks for being here so fast!
JT those old Shea engines wasn’t built for speed, but they would dang sure pull. I know a lot of the logging industries down here in south east Louisiana they used to use them there’s old dummy lines all through the honey Island, Swamp and out in the Piney Woods, where they went through there and cut all the virgin pine and in the swamp they cut all of the white and red Cyprus trees. There’s still stumps that you can see down there on the river and those things are 10 foot across the top of them and you can still see the notches that they cut into them to put the boards to stand on so they could get up there and cut them down but anyway another awesome video and as always you stay safe out there and watch your back and we’ll see you on the next one
Superb video.
Love watching those "connecting-rods" in 🎬 action 🎬 @ "21:03", thanks Jawtooth 😊 ❤
Gotta love those Shay’s
Whistle is awesome!
I think so too!
❤️🤍💙 Incredible video Mr Tooth! Amazing. I thought I was growing weary of steam engines, but this video was a trip into history! Your vantage point by the old snowplow, and all the switches was perfect. An epic train video for the ages. You are a train icon in your own right. Thanks for bringing serenity and contentment into my life everyday. You are far and away my favorite subscription. Your videos are an excursion into the sublime. Salut! 🌞 ❤️ ✅ 🌝
Thank you very much!
Thank You Jaw Tooth, excellent video!
That old boiler sitting there with that tinder that says 604 belongs to Buffalo Creek & Gauley No. 4. Hopefully they can get it restored cause it was an Awesome looking Locomotive! Great Video as usually Jaw Tooth!
Excellent video JawTooth
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks! 👍
Thank you, Jaw Tooth, for another video from your trip to the Cass Scenic Railroad earlier in 2024. I found the switching of the steam engines from one track to the other track interesting to watch. Tis switch move was the way to move the engines off the mainline track to the track that tacks them to the engine house for servicing. You were talking about trying to capture one of the engines taking water from the water tank. Didn't you capture a couple of the engines taking water from the water tank on one of the earlier videos from this trip? I liked the portion of the video with the train going on the revitalized trackage toward Durbin, West Virginia. It is good to see that the Cass Scenic Railroad is adding "new" trackage to their system! (Posted 21 September 2024 at 2007 CDT.)
That was a cool video! Those old trains are awesome
Thank you very much!
Great video thank you!..
Glad you liked it!
Awesome video keep up with a great work and be safe out there.
Just get off the beaten paths, and you'll be so surprised and amazed at what you might stumble onto! I could spend a month or more, just relaxing in the shade with all that ancient steam power, the heck with all this modern diesel stuff❗
That was so awesome, Brian. All kinds of live action are going on with the steams.
Thanks for watching Alan!
I work for the post office and one of the cars was a RPO - Railway Post Office.
Awesome! Thats a good govt job
Good morning I enjoyed the video👍👍
Good morning!
TY. I love your videos.
Glad you like them!
Nice Video
Thanks for the visit
The Durbin branch was destroyed by heavy rains on November 5, 1985. There was approximately 700 million dollars of damage in West Virginia, with 38 deaths attributed to the flooding. The heavy rains caused the Greenbrier River to wash out parts of the line.
SEVERAL scenic rides there
I've been to Cass four times. Sat in the cabs of Shay 11, 6, 5 and their inoperable 3 and as a bonus got a cab ride on their Heisler #6 and Climax #3
Great video sir. Nice to see that Chessie C&O Russell Snowplow too
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great catches and awesome video
Thank you very much!
Wow! Excellent catching all the trains, I like them, they're awesome, @JawTooth, Brian, thank you very much and have a nice day and night.
Thanks, you too!
😅thanks voor d video was coool. greetings on the familie. Peer.🍐🤣
Greetings to Tony and you!
We will be there on Thursday, first time there.
Awesome! you will like it
Nice🔥🔥❤️🥰❤️❤️
Thanks 🔥
Good 🎥Mr. 🦷, gotta ❤ that steam 👍.
You got that right!
I love steam also
It's so haunting how those locomotive whistles, echo through the valley.
Thanks for watching!
@@JawTooth My brother, who has really been into steam, answered the question I had about the Shay engine. Afterwards, he told me to go to Cass museum to see the best collection (and largest surviving Shay engine). I happened to mention that I was just watching a (you at ) show about Cass.
On that train there are only two places, I would love to ride. In the Caboose, and the locomotive can.
That would be cool! I also like the open air gon car
I was told that the Shay Sidewinders had engine braking a little like diesel Good for mountains.
There is nothing made by man that sounds like stream whistles echoing off mountains.
@billxam2674 Amen to that 🚂🏔️…
Why do these steam trains run backward so often during these steam train festivals and shows? It messes with my head. They should show us how they really ran back in the day.
I think that the guy hanging out the window of that old C&O caboose is a Jaw Tooth fan. He couldn't keep his eyes off of you and your camera.
I really enjoyed this video, Jaw Tooth!
By the way you are in my prayers. I know that you are dealing with a lot of discomfort and pain in your mouth, yet you keep on traveling around and shooting great videos for us to watch on your channel. I pray for complete healing for you in Jesus' name. Be made completely whole.
The rail ( at 3:42) was rolled in September (there were 9 dashes) of 1923.
It's really hard to see them. Thanks for watching!
Just a great video, thanks.
I was there once a few years ago. Now I need to go back. Is engine # 2 around there some place?
Thanks, keep up the good work.....
Cass should put that Bobber caboose in service.
I agree. that would be cool
Cool.
Do you know the story on the tender and the locomotive on the sidis?Bottom, and have you heard anything about Buffalo?Creek and gully number four.
Thank you for your videos.Have been watching them for years
Good morning everyone, awesome video.
Steam locomotive and those passenger cars are a true blast from the past. Love the caboose
Good morning !
A whole bunch of switching going on!
Was this this first all-wheel drive in the history of transportation?
Well the leafs are changing colours it's getting cooler at night people are emptying their pools and the pumpkins are ready wellcome to fall sun🎃🎃🎃🍁🍁🍁🍂🍁🍂
Thanks for watching! I will have some fall colours videos
604 is still awaiting a new boiler.
Flood took out a portion of the track & they waited repair if for quite a while but yes, they just recently reopened that section to expand the tourism.
JT: they usually take water by a siphon near end of line. Might want to ask if tower is just for looks.
They use that tower. I have videos of it being used to fill the tenders
Outstanding video!!! Thanks as always!
Will you be ever taking a journey out to the Illinois railway museum in Union, Illinois? That is a museum you will love.
Eventually I will get there. I wanted to get there this year for their celebration but I miss d it
@@JawTooth just so that you know, I would hold off until next season so you can be sure to hit one of their special weekends and when steam is operating.
@@kahunatiki6498 Good idea. I would love to be there for steam.
One of those remote locations where everything else would seem like it's on another planet.. Watching that Caboose backup with the combine power car no doubt was the highlight of the day even into the 1950s on some of these small branches as it was the more reliable form of Passenger transport but also mail. Express and freight. Even after the steam disappeared one can just imagine those GP9s running wide open climbing some of these steep grades. It is nice to see that they do have a good selection of restored Freight cars from that area to operate authentic train from that time period. Of course steam will always be the real attraction and the sights.sounds and smells of the Shays. I guess the ultimate would be the huge Western Maryland Shay pushing that Jordan plow through a deep snow
Darn, they went on the wrong side of the water tank... oh good... it switched sides...
Con someone explain in detail how this CASS operation runs solely on steam motive power yet the UP "Big Boy" needs that diesel? Before someone says Im stupid, i understand that air brakes need charged and they try to say that the diesel is needed for braking....well why not here? Either these CASS consists are exempt from any braking rules or they've fitted steam driven air pumps. I also get that 4014 runs on Class A lines, but still, affixing a steam driven brake air compressor is SIMPLE. If its an issue of providing electrical power to the electrified part of the 4014 consist that could be done with probably a 30KW generator lashed into that mail car they pull around....certainly doesnt need a loco. Some people say that 4014 is just a whistle being pushed around and Im starting to question whether that's fact. Something is NOT being said about 4014.
There's many reasons the UP runs the Big Boy with a diesel. Part of it does indeed have to do with brakes, but its not really because the 4014 cant do it on its own, but more so because it's the only operating big boy and brakes for a large 600 ton 80 year old machine have to be hand made (which makes it very expensive). Being a complex old machine, its also nice to have a back up just in case it breaks down as well. the Union Pacific has 2 active steam engines that tour 32,000 miles of track with their steam shop in Wyoming. Cass here only has about 11 miles of track and 8 steam engines for back up all operating historical equipment. The UP also has to follow national guidelines set up by the FRA, which means trains running on the main must have PTC (positive train control) which until very recently the 4014 did not have. For the UP the BB is a promotional tool that's big and expensive to run on a huge railroad with no support system for it while still adhering modern safety and logistics. Cass and many scenic railroads follow different rules than the huge class 1 railroads, with many operating much like railroads did when the 4014 was built. Good news is though, that they just added PTC to the 4014 and it already has done a few runs without the diesel behind it, so hopefully we can see more of that, and more old steamers fitted with the tech they need to run free. I'm not an expert, just a simple rail fan, but I hope that helps. I too would like to see them run without the diesel, but I'm just glad it runs.
Disassembled locomotive
Old Iron.
Guess where I went yesterday Steve. I went to Springfield. I saw a couple of cats also lol
@@JawTooth See any Geese? We fed ducks today at Laurel Lake Corbin/London Ky. Waverunner trip. 3 nights and coming home tomorrow. Made a note of exot 49.
@@train1962 I didn't see any geese. I thought I saw a big pile of feathers but it turned out to be leaves Lol. Laurel Lake sounds like a lot of fun. Pretty cool and I hope you have a great time. That area is really pretty and this is the perfect time to be there
look at the springs... really weighted down with all the heavy cargo they're hauling.
I don't believe that was a very old fire hydrant. Probably from back in the day when water mains were made out of wood. I think they used to call them fire plugs
Lol. I do believe that was a very old fire hydrant
😊👍
Thanks for watching!
😅nice steamlokos,oil burners?🤣
No, they burn coal
rail dates
Did I not get them this time?
@@JawTooth you did and thank you the best part of your videos are the dates on the rails
@@richardgash2349 Good, I like seeing them also. Todays videos has rail dates featured from two different railroad companies. Its the video I posted from Springfield Ohio just a few hours ago
Hi I really am very happy you keep coming back because I really I really love to watch train 🚆 I really love train 🚆 I will always praying 🙏 for you 🙏 and your 🙏 family and friends and your animals ok please 🙏 be 🙏 safe ok 🙏 and please 🙏 be 🙏 careful out there ok 🙏 can you please do more new train 🚆 for all of us please we will be waiting for you ok I you have a wonderful day and have a good night and day ok love Lorilee xoxoxoxox ♥️ 💖 💖 💗 ♥️ 💗 ♥️ 💖 💗
0:28 i found a steam corpse numbered 604
Thanks for watching!
@23:00 Is the Balto. & O. Station, Point of Rocks, Md.?
Yes, I was there a few years back
😮😂 3:57
Merci beaucoup pour cette très belle vidéo et très bon week-end ! ✨✨👍🙏
Thanks for watching and have a great weekend also!
@@JawTooth 🖐🖐🙏🙏🙏🙏
It’s a cool day under pressure ...steam ! good video !
Getting rid of the mosquitos... and we get to see some real old-time trains. Great video Jaw Tooth.
Wow! I really love the sound of those old steam whistles! So iconic and nostalgic! Thanks for sharing this wonderful video, Jaw Tooth! I thoroughly enjoyed it!
last October I took a week off and did a road trip from Ottawa, Ontario as far as west Virginia. I rode on one of the N and W 611 steam excursions, and also went up to bald Knob on the Cass Scenic railway. Probably one of the best road trips Ive ever done!
wow 5 shays that is unique! they are running with mixed roller and friction bearings , the car are great love the PRR,
that was the oldest active use rail I have seen. love your videos always learn something!
Wow, awesome trains. I love the steam whistles, always get goosebumps from hearing them. Great video. Have a nice day 😊🌈💟
Thank you! You too!
I thought only the loco had drive shafts not the tender?
