- On June 17th of 2023, Cass held their annual Parade of Steam event. 4 Shays and a Climax all put on a show for over 2000 people. Luckily, we had great weather, and everyone had a great time. This year the whistle lineup consisted of a Manns Creek 3 Chime on Climax 9, Lunkenheimer 3 Chime on Shay 4, Homemade 3 Chime on Shay 5, Powell 3 Chime on Shay 11 and my favorite whistle on Cass Shay 2's Reading 6 Chime. After the Parade Cass hosted 1 hour long trips along the Greenbrier line, luckily, I booked the Caboose and had a very relaxing ride to end the incredible day off. This year Shay 11 was the star of the Parade as it turns 100 years old this year. Thank you to everyone who was involved in an event and all of the crews as well as Walter Scriptunas! Shoutout to all the railfans I met that day. As always thanks for watching and stay tuned for more Cass videos in the near future!
Note: The Reading 6 Chime on 2 is the same one it had last year at the Parade, but it was fixed earlier this year and now can fully sound all 6 chimes.

Brings back a lot of childhood memories when our parents would take us there often,I always loved the sounds of the whistles as they echoed through the mountains of Cass.

I was here today too. It was awesome watching the shays and the climax today. Absolutely love the video! Keep it up! :)
Thank You! It was a great day!
Very cool!! Love ĥearing the whistle resounding through the West Virginia hills.
Thank you! So do I it's an iconic sound.
Great video! It was an awesome day!
Thank you! It sure was!
Great to Hear them bring out the Powell for the first time in over a decade
Awesome catch! Steam rules!
Thank you! Yes it does!
Bet that show was awesome! Shame I wasn’t there but if they put the mockingbird on 11 again then that would be the real show in my opinion
They usually put the Mockingbird on during Halloween weekend at Cass.
@@cassscenicproductions8888ahh I see
Awesome video but I wish Shay 6 was in the parade hope to see it back in service sometime this year.
Thanks! Big 6 should be in the Parade next year it's pretty much done, but the FRA has to sign some paperwork.
@@cassscenicproductions8888 ah ok thanks
Awesome Video Man! 👍👍👍 Wish we could have came but we had a few things going on! 😅 Anyhow, Another Awesome Video of these Old Shays! This time preforming on the Lines they Call Home! Keep Up the Great Work Man!

40:58 Finger Reveal
I hope you enjoyed the figure reveal lol
Maybe one day those steam locomotives sitting on the flat cars, and that locomotive that hasn't been torn apart can be restored someday.
❤
I got a book on the shay locomotive
Very cool!
I am buying a 4 truck shay Locomotive 🚂 next year in HO SCALE
Awesome! I am looking at buying one of those.
@@cassscenicproductions8888 I just got a 3 truck Heisler with the CASS Scenic Railroad on the tender by Rivarossi and It's a real honour hearing from you + I asked broadway limited to produce a shay locomotive directly and they have granted my wish.
@@dsingh412 That is awesome! Well thank you for asking Broadway i'm looking at buying the MLC one.
wow I love that whistle on shay 11!!! any chance I can use it for one of my games?
Yes you can use it for your game!
Have they ever blown the Old Sawmill whistles on the engines? still have those whistles in the museum but I was just curious.
Not that I know of. Maybe back when it was owned by the state when they had those whistle blow events.
Im curious to ask, why do both shay 4 and 5 have 2 completely different makes of whistle, but both of them sound very similar. And that they both sound like princeton 3 chimes?
There's not really a good answer for that question. There are both 3 chimes, and they both are a little similar sounding. Although the one on 5 is a step top and the one on 4 is a flat top.
1:15 what is that whistle
It's a gorgeous Powell 3 chime.
@@cassscenicproductions8888it sounds amazing
@@RailfanLoy Sure does!
@@RailfanLoy Supposedly its one of the rarest whistles in existence from at least one source I read. Ive heard claims that there are only like 3-4 examples of these Powells left.
@@thunderbird1921 and Dollywood owns one
Great video!🎉 I’m a bit disappointed that heisler #6 wasn’t in the parade of steam this year. Also what whistle is #11 wearing.
Heisler 6 could be in next years Parade. Shay 11 is wearing a Powell 3 Chime.
Thanks!
