With a combined 100,000 lbs of tractive effort, Shays 11 and 6 take the 10-car, Cass Railfan Weekend double-header across the first of two bridges over Leatherbark Creek. The train's destination today is the Whittaker Logging Camp, but there will be numerous stops for photo run-bys before it arrives there. The turnout for the annual railfan event necessitates some of the longest passenger trains that the Cass Scenic Railroad runs each year.
For aficianados of geared steam engines, it's "almost heaven." Here are some scenes from the park's annual Railfan Weekends, as well as some private charters.
