Cass Scenic Shay No. 5 leads the Whittaker train toward the Upper Switchback on its return leg from Whittaker Station to Cass. Spring is in full bloom on the Cass Scenic Railroad on this May 21, 2016. The Durbin & Greenbrier Valley Railroad started the season at Cass two weeks ahead of normal operations to take advantage of the spring color season.
