Hey Doc

No need to expose yourself to that level of infectious social media when YouTube (bad enough itself, I know) has literally hours of Cass available, including some whistle competitions between engines.

Here is just a quick general tour of the line in Fall:



BTW, I do have a piston ring out of the little Shay #4 shown early on in the video that I've linked.
"Information is not knowledge, Knowledge is not wisdom, Wisdom is not truth, Truth is not beauty, Beauty is not love, Love is not music: Music is THE BEST...   
Wisdom is the domain of the Wis (which is extinct). Beauty is a French phonetic corruption of a short cloth neck ornament currently in resurgence..."
F. Zappa ... by way of Mary, the girl from the bus.

Thank you for that link, Daniel. I have to admit, I don't spend very much time on YouTube searching either. Most of the videos I watch are member shared. Maybe thisnwill spice up my YouTube feed, so that it quits suggesting channels.

Growing up in WV, I had the joy of riding this railroad many times.

It's a wonderful trip up the mountain.

Highly recommended.
