Funnything i was on # 6 in b carriage i saw you a few times lol. Didt think i would see this video. I loved the ride and scenery. Old number six is one of my favorite engines there and the strongest engine they have!

Thats a spooky prr banshee on big six and number 11 has the lunkahimer mockingbird whistle it looks like.

Yes, that is the Lunkenhiemer Mockingbird whistle

That’s a C&O banshee

@justinguy4622 c&o never used a banshee only the prr did use them.

Seeing the old 604 tender for BC&G #4 was a bit of a surprise only because I never kept up with where she went when she left the NCTM.

[@Barkley512]

@@SOU6900 Never know what may show up in Cass. Thanks for the comment

[@SOU6900]

@Barkley512 I've honestly missed her since NCTM gave her up. The museum just hasn't been the same to me since the first time I saw her in 2000 when I was a kid and she was still operating.

Love the hooter on 11, that’s a mockingbird right?

I believe so. Thanks for the comment

Shay #4 is the only Cass native. She was built for the Mower Lumber Company at Cass

[@Barkley512]

@@TobyPasman Yes a lot of old pictures of #4 in the museum. My great grandfather, Granville Barkley was on it when it pulled the last load of logs off the mountain

[@RyanHatterer-Ryanns999]

Both 4 and 5 are native to Cass. #5 came in 1906 and #4 was 1943.

[@Barkley512]

@ Yes. Thanks for the comment

[@thunderbird1921]

Man, all the engines except for maybe Shay 4 had some pretty eerie sounding whistles for the Halloween season (especially the "Banshee", that thing almost sounds like a coyote howling at night). On another note, is WM Shay 6 operating on just two cylinders? Its exhaust beat sounds kind of off here.

[@Barkley512]

@@thunderbird1921 Yes the whistles were special. Not sure about 6, but it sounded a little off to me

[@steamenginefan100]

What whistle was on shay 5?

[@Barkley512]

@@steamenginefan100 I’m not sure

[@chrisfrailfan7541]

To me it sounds like one of the N&W hooter whistles
