On Saturday June 18th 2022, the Cass Scenic Railroad hosted their annual Parade of Steam event. This year included solo race runbys with the 5 engines, doubleheader and tripleheader runbys, and of course the legendary quintumpleheader runbys with all 5 engines hooked together. The star of the parade this time was Shay No. 4, which turned 100 years old in 2022. I was present at the event all day and had a wonderful time. Enjoy classic geared steam in the mountains of West Vriginia!
Whistles:
Shay No. 2 - MD Whistles Reading 6 chime
Shay No. 4 - Lunkenheimer 3 chime
Shay No. 5 - Homemade 3 chime
Shay No. 11 - Mockingbird slide-valve hooter
Climax No. 9 - Manns Creek Crosby 3 chime
The last clip is of Climax Number 9 wearing a shop-built hooter the railroad was raffling off as part of the event.

That mockingbird hooter TOTALLY caught me off guard. I was like "WOAH! thats a heck of a squeak!" but then it went up like 3 octaves and I was like "HEY! OK I'm awake now!

It caught all of us off guard in person too. Scared some people even 😂😂

It was a custom built hooter they were raffling off, it wore it so people could hear it

Nice! What kind of hooter is on Shay 11?

@SteamZRailfan 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks! That is a lunkenheimer mockingbird slide-valve hooter, the fireman can adjust the tuning while it’s being blown by pulling a separate cord.

I have ridden behind all but the Climax, and ridden in the cab of Shay #4 and Heisler #6. Brings back memories of my childhood in the 70's. ❤❤ Two questions: First, is that the Climax that burnt up when the old shop burned down? Second, Where is Western Maryland #6? My Dad helped move her to Cass from the Baltimore Railroad Museum, and she has a special place in my memories.

@SteamZRailfan Жыл бұрын

That’s awesome! I’m not sure if that is the climax that burned as I’m not too well versed in Cass’s history. WM 6 is about to come out of a rebuild in 2023. It’s been down since 2019. Reason it took so long is a lack of workers to work on it.

@sammoyers905 Жыл бұрын

@@SteamZRailfan That is great to hear. I am going to get my family back up there this year, as a kind of memorial to my Dad, who past in 2021. It would not be the same without WM6 running.

@cmpunkcewroblox Жыл бұрын

My uncle just moved there not too long ago, he’s only 10 minutes away from Cass. and every time I go we always go to cass, I get chills when the whistle echos.
