Cass Scenic Parade of Steam 2024 - Riding the Bald Knob Train and More

On June 15 and 16th, 2024 I made my first trip down to Cass, West Virginia to witness the Parade of Steam event, as well as ride the Parade Durbin Greenbrier special, and ride the Bald Knob excursion. Cass is a wonderful historic steam railroad operation. The staff does a tremendous job preserving the history and putting on a show that only steam trains can. Plenty of good whistle and steam action, plus the crew was able to make some good stack talk giving Shay 11 work up the mountain. The weekend featured 5 of Cass' running Shays, numbers 2, 4, 5 ,6 and 11. Shay 4 worked the Greenbrier special on Saturday. On Sunday, Western Maryland Shay 6 worked the Whittaker train, and Shay 11 worked the Bald Knob train. Shay 4 was on the Durbin train, and Shay 5 was the backup, both not seen in day 2 of my video. All videos were shot using my phone, a Pixel 8 Pro.
