Wide angle shot of the derelict control stand of a former South Branch Valley Alco rusting away at Cass. This engine operated one winter many years ago as the shop switcher but damaged the track a... (more)

An interesting find in the woods near the Old Whitney boat ramp along the shores of Badin Lake: a cold CLNA 1721 rests at the derail at the end of her siding waiting for the rare chance to get fir... (more)
