USA Steam Tour 2014 "Cass Scenic Railroad" 

Gosh that was Gorgeous!

We Must Keep our Heritage of Steam for all of our kids to experience ! They will never ever forget! God Bless the men and women who participate in keeping the for all of us to enjoy!

I live a couple miles from Cass. The sound echoing down the valley is indeed hauntingly beautiful.

My grandpa born raised in the Appalachian remembering stories of the howling steam trains. A time passes I hope cassenic keeps it alive

Lukas Kurdziolek I have to disagree. She did not leave the factory in the fireball paint scheme. She also spent most of her life in WV hauling coal. I here rumors of 1309 having fireball paint.

It is also either the biggest or one of the biggest shay locomotives ever built

Penny McKnight from what I understand it is the biggest

Joshua Lawrence I assume it's a Hancock 3 chime. That seems to be the popular deep pitch whistle

It's an IC 3 chime

I chuckled a bit at that. Shay 5 sounded like it was trying to be a Big Boy with that whistle! Way too deep for an engine of that size.

@@thunderbird1921 it's a Illinois Central Hancock Co. 3 chime

If it's built like a standard diamond, the should be a devise that redirects the exhaust outward to push the cinders away and the screen catches a lot. No fan as far as I'm aware

No fans, just a series of baffles to give the smoke a spin and throw the cinders out. The blast of the engine exhaust up the stack makes it move fast enough for it to perform as a cyclone separator.

Vineet Arora I have ridden behind all of these engines and on separate occasions. most weekend bald knob excursions are double headers. This was a private charter and most of the shots are only accessible by train. There are some crossings you can drive to, I have done this on a separate occasion. Don't be shy and feel free to walk back to the shop complex and look into shop tours. And if it isn't to late look into the lodging at the company houses. COME PREPARED FOR ALL TYPES OF WEATHER. This is the mountains. It has snowed in May. Enjoy your trip.

Thanks much Christopher!

Vineet Arora , Your welcome, PS 99% of Cass trips are pushed from the rear for safety up the steep hills. So these engine at the front shots are uncommon on a regular weekend. Drive safe.

Aah! I see. I would have never thought of that. Here is what I hope to do. I would like to ride the train one day and spend the second day taking videos. And I would not be there over a weekend. I will be pulling in on Sunday evening and stay for a couple of days. Hoping to still be able to ride the train.

dj Trains old train by tony rice

Lunkenheimer 3 chime I believe

"Old Train" by the Tony Rice Unit

Ethan Trainz Productions you will have to ask someone with more knowledge on whistles. Hopefully someone will comment with an answer for you.

Ok

It's a lunkenheimer 3 chime

Carolyn Sanders yup

Isn’t it being rebuilt?

@@lonelykillerwolf6110 yes, but rn it’s dead at the moment

Johnathan Turner the Tony Rice Unit. This song is off the album Manzanita. The song is called "Old Train"

Christopher Knode I dig it. Went to youf page. You have earned a sub, my friend. Keep the old bluegrass and train vids comin'. I don't know if you have, yet, but one day you should come on down to North Georgia for some good action.

We ship raw materials half way around the globe to be processed in countries with little or no environmental regulations, and then we ship the products back around the planet again. Globalism has essentially tripled down on global pollution, and you're worried about a few old scenic train rides? LOL Welcome to the age of insanity.

these are shay type locomotive, theyre gear runned to have more power and negotiating steep grades

​@@spuriouseffect i really frustrated that not even people recognise the damages their own car does to the environment and honorable mention: SUV and their Ego inflated drivers

@@voidjavelin23 And yet the rich and powerful, and their paid politicians, are still flying around in jets, living it up in big oceanfront mansions, and making it impossible to produce products locally, all while telling us that we have to pay trillions to convert to electric vehicles. It's a joke. Absolutely none of the climate predictions they've made over the past 30 years have been true. None of them. The Maldives are not underwater, the sea isn't drowning coastal communities, and they even had to take down the signs at Glacier National Park that said that all the Glaciers would be gone by 2020. It's insanity to believe anything Governments, and their subsidized "scientists" say. They're all owned by huge corporations, along with their media.
