Steam Train Descends Steep Hill At Cross Buck Level Railway Crossing, Cass Scenic Railroad, Cass WV

[@robertscharlow]

Jaw Tooth with the STEAM power! Love to see it! JT is the best for covering all kiiiiinds of railroading live action!

[@andrewrivera4029]

I got luck passing by there on the way home 2 years ago they had 3 steamers up and running. Love WV.

[@Deweydew100]

I road this excursion when I was a kid and was able to jump.on ole Shae Locomotive #5 🚂 . I'll never forget the trip to the top of the Mtn with my family, this is one train trip all family's should take and its like a 2 or 3 hr trip up and back and one of the best times to go is when the full fall leaves have changed. Thanks Jaw Tooth for the memories.

[@JawTooth]

Every family should do this at least once. It's a positive memory they will always have.

[@justinsanders2705]

There's nothing like the sound of the old steam whistle.

[@shube3103]

And they are all perfectly tuned at CASS.

[@faithford9143]

I love watching these trains. it makes me feel that life is so peaceful and simple and easy. thanks for your videos, you made my day

[@bradley-eblesisor]

Beautiful whistle. Sounds great in those hills!

[@paulbergen9114]

Great whistle artist. All that clanking machinery caught in a time warp and one can almost smell the coal smoke. Great opportunity for the whole family to have a memorable experience in history as well as relax in an unhurriedly world. Chessie says "Head to Cass for a good time"

[@fredbrooks1386]

The haunting sound of a steam whistle is a sound I hope we will always be blessed to hear. There is just something magical about that

[@IowaKim]

That train whistle is wonderfully haunting. Love how it echoes through the valleys. That engineer really knows how to work that whistle!

[@michaelhuffor6732]

Also love the steam whistle echoing across the valley. Love the video, watching steam trains could be an all day event. As a kid, we would visit grandparents in Miami. Florida East Coast railroad would bring out an old steam locomotive. We would go down to the depot, and watch it come through. The cousins and I would start at one end of the platform to the other end jumping over the steam cloud. The only stipulations, stay on the waiting passenger side of the yellow painted line. A ride on a scenic steam railroad is always worth it. The only other thing that can compare is taking in old vintage warbirds at an airshow.

[@JKS62B50]

There’s something enchanting about watching steam engines run so many moving parts machined to the last detail working in sync just beautiful…

[@vernonmatthews181]

All those moving parts on one side of the train, facinating ( locomotive )😎👌👍

[@glennhilliker5466]

Thanks for that one my wife loves the steam engines especially.

[@williamsantangelo]

As always God Bless you and your family and your Pets! Thank You!

[@JawTooth]

Same to you!

[@traditionallarry5378]

I have to say those Shay locomotives are really amazing to watch.

[@erichhitchcock3368]

Nice set-up those folks have there son! That whistle is hauntingly beautiful. Really made me go back to my Grampa's living room listening to those record albums of his, boy do I miss him. Late in the evening if I can't sleep I'll sometimes hear the freight line in the distance...it's like his way of saying, "I love you and miss you my dear Grandson..." Great job brother.

[@joseresendiz6862]

The sound of this train 🚂 wooo woooo is amazing thanks JT

[@WaynoGur]

Full rich high pitched train whistle. Love it and all the train sounds.

[@GrandadsLetters]

I love the sounds of steam engines at work! I used to run on ITM NKP #587-Noblesville IN and WVRR Baldwin Prairie #100-Connersville IN way back when. The main take away from steam railroading is that everything is Hard, Hot & Heavy! Great snapshots and video. Thanks for the memories!

[@craiggarrickfr4fgz877]

Never seen a piston configuration like that.... Looks amazing and complex. 🇬🇧🇯🇲

[@BarneyLeith]

Very many years ago, when our kids were young, my wife and I took them for a wonderful ride on the Cass Scenic Railroad, right to the top of Bald Knob. A wonderful location and and wonderful railroad. Love the Shay geared locos.

Very cool!

I absolutely Love that whistle!! Thank you for filming this Jaw Tooth, it's Perfect!!

[@1940limited]

Hats off to Cass for keeping those old shays running. I've heard of the railroad but never been there. You can hear the whistle echo off the mountains. Even though there's only crossbucks at the grade crossings you'd have to be dead, dumb and blind not to know a train's coming! Thanks for the trip to Cass.

[@JawTooth]

It is really cool listening to them echo through the mountains. I like how the crossing still uses wood instead of metal. I like the old stuff

[@1940limited]

@@JawTooth I'm with you!

[@_RailWay_]

Great video and sound of the steam whistle!

[@brianhickey5949]

Gotta love the Yield sign at the crossbucks - yep you will yield :) That looks like a great ride! All wheel drive - how about that! That engineer loves to work the whistle! Very cool! Interesting relic cars - wow :)

[@rob4b]

Haunting but beautiful at the same time that steam whistle, living American History

[@mountblessingrailroad6103]

Got to love that whistle I could sit there and listen to that all day long and now I see why everybody likes the Shay it's the first one I've seen and you caught it on video👍👍 stay safe and have a good day

[@JawTooth]

Right on!

[@rsbennett6589]

A good cup of coffee. A great video of " live steam, a shay " and a BL2 in the yard. I don't think Sunday morning can get better than this! THANKS JT !

[@colinsmith4453]

Simply the greatest sound ever.

[@stephenrick6672]

I love logging locomotives. I have a shay, heisler, and climax on my model railroad. The sound of that whistle is haunting. Steam is my favorite. Great video especially the sound. Thanks!

[@jackscott7237]

That Engineer must've known how much I love the sound of that old steam Whistle. He sure sounded like he was having fun with it. Thanks Jaw Tooth. Love your Videos.

[@charlottecunningham2141]

Reminds me of “Petticoat Junction “ around 3:50. That whistle is beautiful

[@martincarroll7470]

I like the Shay locomotives, designed to haul heavy coal loads in mountains.

Designed in Michigan to haul logs.

[@hernanpatricioorellanaalar3473]

Ohh what a surprise!! Steam, and a Shy! Thank you very much Mr. Jaw Tooth! Great report!

[@SteadyGhetner]

It's no wonder they need a full tank of water! Most of the steam is going out thru the whistle! Very, very cool. Thanks a lot, man. Keep well and keep on.

[@JawTooth]

Thank you too! They also refill the steamer with water near the top of the mountain

[@craigslater9380]

You have to love the old steamers, no matter what the design. Looks like a great time for all, I'll have to check it out for myself. Thanks for the video, son! Keep 'em coming!

[@lakefromeshippingcompany]

Great video and slide show. Steam locomotive whistles have an evocative and other-worldly quality that is both haunting and nostalgic.

[@goosubux]

I love those Shays. They come from where I was born, Lima, Ohio.

[@46fd04]

That is a very loud steam whistle! Probably one of the loudest I've ever heard. It sounds great.

[@walkinthewoods7775]

WOW it was so nice to here the steam whistle. Thanks Jaw tooth.

[@russelltrupia4479]

We always get a wealth of knowledge when we watch your videos. I love the steam videos great job JT.

[@77thTrombone]

2:02 wow- that is the real McCoy coming! That whistle work is exemplary. It should give everyone an appreciation for how folks could tell when Casey Jones was piloting a passing train. And kudos to the Cass Scenic boiler shop for knowing how to make a proper whistle out of a boiler pipe. Steam erosion is a thing, so those whistles don't last forever.

[@clydemarkham7915]

Great video. Thanks for sharing. Especially for all those that can't get there to see it in person. Bless you.

[@ko6jay681]

3:50 reminds me of the opening of Petticoat Junction! Great video as always!

You're right!

[@hodges-hg6ck]

Always ask to ride in the cab before the trip. You get lucky every so often.

[@tombrandt4703]

This is a great video showing the operation of a Shay locomotive with the side driven wheels on the locomotive as well as the tender. Lima Locomotive Works in Lima OH was the principal builder. Tom B

I love going to Cass! I only live about 50 miles from there

[@valeriebassett3107]

That is one of my favorite engines. I really love this video. I am going to save this in my favorites list of train videos. Your running to get more of this train is awesome. Just love your videos.

[@JawTooth]

Thank you very much! Tomorrow I have more video of Cass steam

[@RogerThunderhandsGilbert]

That's what I call a "signature whistle." Casey Jones had his own signature too, and people used to set their watches by it as he steamed through town,,always on time! Lore from yesteryear,,courtesy of Thunder!

[@josettesciberras1613]

Perfect day for watching trains. You already have a nice tan.

[@avail1.]

Nice Steam locomotive for a small type. Thanks very much for showing this one JT🚂

[@JawTooth]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@hodges-hg6ck]

What a great place to visit and ride

[@billtimmons7071]

I went the Cass website. They claim 5 to 10 % grades. That is impressive. I have a nerdy thought for you technical foamers: I believe the Shays can take these grades because all the loco weight is on the drivers, and all the drivers are connected. So adhesion is maximized and wheel slip is minimized. I believe nothing can beat a Shay on steep grades for adhesion RR's. I love this video JT ! Thank you.

[@Panzerfaust9161]

So cool. I love old steam trains.

[@rachelolvera9435]

That running water sounds lovely

[@vernonmatthews181]

Thats an impressive cut-a-way of the pistons moving, that water tower looked it was ready for a lick of paint, certainly unusual having the tender facing forward. You said the gauge was 4'8'',, I think NZ gauge is 4'8" 1/2, unless you go to Aucklands museum "Museum of Transport & Technology" (MOTAT) for short. That whistle in the hills takes me back to a time & place long forgotten. Thanks for your families commitment, love your sons call sign for you, I didn't miss what was said, I used RT's for years in road transport. Keep up the Safe Railfanning.😎👌👍

[@williamschlenger1518]

I love to hear that whistle.It reminds me of when I was young.We fished under an old trestle & duck as not to get cinders in our eyes.👍♥️

[@williamralph5442]

Class is the neatest place. We stayed in a little white cottage. Gotta love soot. Next time I’d like to transfer to the Durbin RR. Can’t wait to go again. Thanks JT. Have a cold one...

[@JawTooth]

Sounds great!

[@rickcooper6817]

Thanks Mr. Jaw Tooth, great video! We spent a few days at Cass about 6 years ago, also stayed in one of their rental houses. Very peaceful up there and a great get away from the real world. It's a good trip and I would suggest it to anyone who loves trains and mountains.

[@dubvtrainman1869]

They are in the process of completing the connection between the Western Maryland RR out of Elkins WV to Cass. That’ll be a good one to shoot when the complete the connection.

[@gravelydon7072]

A good run for the Heisler to run on or the Climax but a real waste if they use WM #6 for it. I have ridden that line behind #6 and id hardly broke a sweat on the run.

[@Joeybagofdonuts76]

Shays (authentic) were made in Lima, OH. Other manufacturers could build them, but had to call them a Shay type as Lima had a copyright on the name.

[@JawTooth]

Interesting

[@robertpsieving4401]

After Lima produced their last shay, the Willamette logging company out west bought the rights & produced a very shay looking locomotive with several improvements on the original shay

[@STL-Railfan]

He's definitely whistle-happy! I've never seen a flywheel design like that on a steam locomotive. I love these scenic excursions. It'll be one thing I will miss about Colorado. There are many excursion trains in the mountains, both narrow and standard, both steam and diesel. Huge RR history all tied to the mining that once ruled the mountains. Love the shots of the steamers at the end!

[@JawTooth]

Cool, thanks!

[@livinginavandownbytheriver2349]

Great video. I am one of those guys who loves seeing a steam engine working. Regardless of the size, design, and what it was made for.

Video sempre belli a affascinanti. Mi piacciono molto sia i treni che i luoghi. Very nice and interesting video. Hello from Italy

[@neolithicnobody8184]

As a child of the 1970s, I remember once a year a Steam Locomotive would come through Blanchester, Ohio on its way from Chillicothe to Cincinnati. It normally happened around early August. My Parents wedding anniversary was August 1st and it came through at least 3 times on their anniversary date. We would plan a picnic for the day with our highlight being the train.

[@JawTooth]

Awesome! I remember it also. I rode on it! It was the Chessie Steam Special. The last year was 1978, I believe. I have a lot of pictures that I took on that trip. The steam locomotive was destroyed in a roundhouse fire shortly after that. The fire happened in northern Kentucky just east of Covington and Cold Springs. The train actually ran from Cincinnati To Chillicothe and back. The tracks from Greenfield to Chillicothe are now gone and the train station in Chillicothe where we got off the train burnt to the ground a few years back. The good ole days

[@neolithicnobody8184]

@@JawTooth Yeah, back when Amtrak still ran through the area. We lived out of town about 1/4 mile from the tracks(Level Station). If we went to the back of our property and peaked through the fence line we could see a full mile section of the tracks. Back then you could tell the time by the horn blowing and which direction it was headed. Haven't been able to do that for decades now.

[@JawTooth]

@@neolithicnobody8184 Cool! I use to live next this line on Obannonville Road just east of Loveland back in the mid 80s. I rode Amtrak across it in about 1979 I believe. Chillicothe still has some good train action but I wish they would have left the tracks in place.

[@neolithicnobody8184]

@@JawTooth Is that the road that turns into Dallasburg Road at the County Line? That crossing down in the Holler was always a rough one. lol A single lane crossing on a (barely)2 lane road and uphill both directions. lol Shoot, I'm old enough to remember when the Bike Trail still had the tracks in place. I used to explore the old abandoned tracks in the Morrow area back then. Many of the old creek crossings in that area had the best swimming holes.
