On June 17th of 2023, Cass held their annual Parade of Steam event. 4 Shays and a Climax all put on a show for over 2000 people. Luckily, we had great weather, and everyone had a great time. This year the whistle lineup consisted of a Manns Creek 3 Chime on Climax 9, Lunkenheimer 3 Chime on Shay 4, Homemade 3 Chime on Shay 5, Powell 3 Chime on Shay 11 and my favorite whistle on Cass Shay 2's Reading 6 Chime. After the Parade Cass hosted 1 hour long trips along the Greenbrier line, luckily, I booked the Caboose and had a very relaxing ride to end the incredible day off. This year Shay 11 was the star of the Parade as it turns 100 years old this year. Thank you to everyone who was involved in an event and all of the crews as well as Walter Scriptunas! Shoutout to all the railfans I met that day. As always thanks for watching and stay tuned for more Cass videos in the near future!
Note: The Reading 6 Chime on 2 is the same one it had last year at the Parade, but it was fixed earlier this year and now can fully sound all 6 chimes.
