Cass Scenic Railroad, Cass West Virginia Steam Train, Mountain Train Ride With 2 Switchbacks, Part 1

Shay Steam locomotive train ride up steep mountain grade through 2 railroad switchbacks to top of the mountain! Welcome to the Cass Scenic Railroad in Cass, West Virginia. The steam train does a run by so we can see the rusty rail before and the shiny rail after the train passes. Then we ride the train through the Cass railroad yard, through the switchbacks and to the 3rd highest point in West Virginia! Along the way we see miles of mountains and we refill the train with water. The train starts at the replica train station along the old Chesapeake And Ohio Railway and then takes the original Cass right of way. The original tracks were unballasted, smaller pound stick rail and standard gauge track. The end of the video shows a steam locomotive being refilled with water and we have the usual dog and slide show. We stayed 2 nights in an old company home in town that is owned by the state and we stayed one night in a nearby motel that has a view of the train station. The state owns the old company town and the railroad. This railroad is a must see for every railfan! Trains use 160.455. I filmed this on July 17, 2020 and I am going back again this June. This is Part 1 and Part 2 will show the train ride coming down the mountain and more runbys. Thanks for watching! Please thumbs up and watch another JawTooth video to help my channel.
