@@DitchChickenAdventures Thanks for your comment. Cass is definitely a special place. Has the largest collection of fully operational Shay engines in the world at 5, and a Climax.
Don't think I've seen Cass run the Climax "up the hill" on the Bald Knob or Whittaker trains in the several years it has been running. Any reason? Not enough "oomph" for a revenue train?
@@mattstrainroom They have had issues keeping it running. I believe it was a boiler issue. Perhaps don’t want to risk overheating pulling the mountain. Have run it on the Greenbrier Express run all the way to Durbin and back, but it is a flat grade. These Christmas runs are only running up to Piney Flats and back. Climax works well for this run. Was surprised to see the Climax, was expecting them to be running the Shay #5. Was very happy to see the Climax running in the snow
Loved the snow. Great stuff
@@mattdotsonrailfanproductio266 Thank you so much
Great Video! Really cool seeing the climax in the snow!
Yes I was really excited when we got there to see it hooked up. Thanks for the comment
Great video! Love seeing the old engines run.

Crews like the Shays, and never really liked the Heisler or the Climax now that it runs. So the every day work is put into keeping the Shays running.
@ Cass is definitely dominated by Shays. Nice to see them running the Climax. Thanks for your comment
