My favorite shot taken from on the train of Cass #11 pulling the train back down the mountain.
The 'office' of a shay. Different in mechanical arrangement on the outside but similar controls in the cab to any other steam locomotive.
Old #5 clears her throat! With the cylinder cocks wide open, the sound and smell of a steam locomotive is like nothing else in railroading.
The working side of a shay is all business. The other side is devoid of any machinery, and avoided by most railfans!
Tourists or lumber; beginning a day with steam locomotives is the same. Cass was a great place to be early morning with the sounds of active steam echoing off the hills.
