Cass Shay No. 5 in the Rain - a photo on Flickriver

            "The oldest operational Shay is located at the Cass Scenic Railroad State Park in West Virginia as their locomotive No. 5. It was first bought in 1905 by the West Virginia Pulp & Paper Co. at Cass. Number 5 is in fact still running on its original rail since it first ran in 1905."  (Wikipedia)

Shay's are geared locomotives that can "climb" relatively steep inclines.

Shay No. 5 is the Official Steam Engine of West Virginia (State Resolution 11 March 2004)

This morning it was pulling a load of tourists up as far as Whittaker Station and back.

WV has been operating these historic locomotives since 1962.  The State Park also rents out old company houses in the town.
