There's an undeniable link between cycling and trains. I ride so many rail trails...I thought that in this video we could just focus on a rail before it becomes a trail. My Dad and I took a road trip to wild and wonderful West Virginia to ride some trains from back-in-the-day. The Cass Scenic Railroad in Cass, West Virginia is an experience like none other, a classic, steam locomotive that carries you to the third highest mountaintop peak in the state. Come along with us!
I'm Scott. I explore, review and rate trails on this channel...and hopefully find a little joy in the journey. Thanks for watching!

Your Dad looks and acts like a much younger feller, you're very fortunate that you still have him around to enjoy such memorable times.

Yes, he does. We lost my Mom in 2018. They were married for well over 50 years. We miss her like crazy. But he's still hangin' in there.

My dad worked on the railroad his entire life. Your video brought back many memories of times when my brother and I got to ride in the engine with my dad on trips. Thanks for the video.

Cass is always an enjoyable ride weather you take the short ride to Whittaker Station or the longer ride to Bald Knob. In the 70's, there was an open car that was in front of the engine. going forward was no problem, but when you backed up on the switchbacks, the crew would bring out a large clear piece of plastic to cover everyone. The plastic kept the soot and small pieces that came out of the smokestack off of you. If you go to Cass even in the summer, take a jacket as it's always cooler at the higher elevations. Just last year I had the enjoyable task of taking my two oldest grandsons to Cass. Watching them learning about the train and why it was there was very enjoyable!

If anyone thought the locomotive seemed odd, that is because it was a Shay type locomotive that uses gears to transfer power to the wheels. It's low speed but has a lot of tractive force so it can pull a lot of weight. That engine probably barely noticed it was pulling cars full of tourists.

Good to know! It’s a really awesome experience. I hope they continue to operate them for years and years.

Great job on it Scott. Enjoy any time you get with your dad. Would not surprise me if dad is a model railroader.

Santa Claus brought my brothers and me a Lionel electric train when we were kids…the engine would light up and so we would turn the lights off and watch that train go around and around a figure-8 track. Once I found out the truth about Santa, I always felt like my Dad bought that train more for himself than for us.. 😂

@@joyfultrails L0L. I understand. His generation watch the end of the steam era, and many of them didn’t like seeing it go so they re-created it. Really did enjoy the video, especially as we were just there. Sorry you missed the Greenbrier River Trail while there. Another great train ride is a Silverton. We did that one. I guess maybe 10 years ago. Thanks for the video.

Great video! Awesome scenery. I see where you get your sense of humor. You and your dad had me cracking up. 😂 That soot was crazy.

Great Video! Gotta love it there. I really enjoyed the video and it looks like you have an amazing relationship with your father. This year we recently opened up the Greenbrier line all the way from Cass to Durbin which is a 30 mile trip in total and takes 6 hours. It follows the beautiful Greenbrier for most of the trip as well as the mountains. Come back and give us a visit again someday and ride the Greenbrier Express!

If you have never biked the Greenbrier River Trail, it is definitely worth a trip back just for that. Trail is 78 miles and down hill if starting in Cass.

I need to do that. I wasn’t aware of the bike trail when we went in 2022. Thanks for the tip.

I have heard there is a day each week where they will take your mtn bike up on the train and there is a trail to ride back down.
