    I got the pleasure for me and my fellow boy scouts to ride this. They also dropped us off at a campsite that was right by the tracks. We got some flattened pennies and good memories. The next morning they picked us up.

      Sounds like a great time, I wish I could've done a camp like that when I was a scout.

      We were there a week before this video and seen she was wearing a Radley & Hunter stack again. Was very happy to see that. That diamond stack looked so out of place on her.

    Yet another tourist railroad that I want to go to sometime. Not only The Durbin Rocket, but also the Cheat Mountain Salamander and New Tygart Flyer. I find it interesting that the Durbin & Greenbrier Valley Railroad was started by a guy who worked in the railroad industry's rival, the trucking industry.

      Same for me, Cass & Durbin are 30 minutes from each other but 4 hours from anywhere else. Although in my opinion the relative isolation does add to the character of the places.

      I actually had the fortune to see this engine a couple years ago, it’s big, a lot bigger than it looks on screen. On that same trip, we rode the Cass (powered by Shay #6 of all things) and ride the other line, powered by the WM 82, and a GP7/9. I got a cab ride in the Geep, it was great

      Jordon Freeman - No the climax that he showed in his Cass Scenic Railroad video is clinics number nine which belongs to the Cass Scenic Railroad, I believe Durbin & Greenbrier Valley #3 should be towards the back at the shop

    • @SmokyMtnSteam
      @SmokyMtnSteam  6 лет назад +2

      The one that is currently in the Cass shop is Moore-Keppel number 6, which is owned by Cass. The one that used to run at Durbin is Moore-Keppel number 3, which is currently under a tarp in the dead line. Its almost last on the waiting list for a rebuild, behind the other climax and Buffalo Creek & Gauley 4.
