Cass RR Series 1983 - 7 See Description
Shay No. 5 -- (Mower No. 5) – C/N 1503, 1905; Class 80-3. Lima Locomotive Works.
Built for the original Cass-based railroad, West Virginia Spruce Lumber Co.’s Greenbrier & Elk River R.R. Shay 5 is the oldest and longest-operating Shay at Cass.
Train is loading passengers in front of the Cass Company Store. The open car in front of the engine gives the die hard railfans a real treat when the engine backs up on the switchback.
