On June 15th Cass hosted their annual Parade of Steam event. As usual the event proved to be a success drawing big crowds in Allegheny Mountains. This year the engines were Shay 2, 4, 5, 6, and 11. The Climax had maintenance still to be done and couldn't make it to the event this year. This year they pushed the 1 hour river trains unlike the previous years when they were pulling which provided a great view at the end of the train. Fortunately I got to ride the 3pm excursion and it concluded the day. With beautiful weather and beautiful whistles I had a great time being back for the event and I'm already looking forward to it again next year. As always thanks for watching!
Special shoutout to all the awesome people I met that day!
For all the whistles geeks the whistles that day were as follows
Shay 11: Chesapeake and Ohio (C&O) 6 Chime
Shay 6: Louisville and Nashville 3 Chime (Freight)
Shay 5: Homemade 3 Chime
