Cass Railfan Weekend 2009: Western Maryland Steam and Diesel

In the spring of 2009 (not 2010 as the video title states), Western Maryland Shay #6 was joined by Durbin & Greenbrier FP7A (formerly Canadian Pacific 4701), freshly painted in speed lettering livery for a day of freight runbys during Cass Railfan Weekend.

I feel like I watched something very similar on VHS as a kid

[@katerinakittycat3849]

I've been to Cass too. A nice place but it's so isolated

[@williambryant5946]

Love the sound of all that slow moving torque!

[@BarneySaysHi]

Funny how the diesel horn tries to blast along with the Shay whistle. I like the Shay whistle better though.

[@markhagerty259]

thats just awesome

[@robscott8296]

How does that horn blow 3 different sounds

[@williambryant5946]

Magic!

[@judpowell1756]

Blake Seekford Nice horn

[@judpowell1756]

I hate tourist roads that overblow the whistles for no reason

[@trainknut]

Agreed, but it's one of the things Cass is known for and they're good at playing with the whistle and making a unique sound...
It's the ones that just constantly blow the same 4 note grade crossing sequence 35 times in a row that get on my nerves.
Trains blow their whistles for crossings... they _don't_ blow their whistles for every single individual person, songbird and rabbit that wanders somewhat near the tracks, some engineers need to learn the difference.
