Last summer Charlotte and I went to Cass Scenic Railroad to ride the trains up the mountain. Number 6 is the last and largest Shay locomotive built. It was built for Western Maryland coal service. Shay #6 was shipped to Elkins, West Virginia May 14, 1945 for use on the 9% grade on the Chaffe branch. . The locomotive's commercial life was short, lasting only four years. #6 was then stored and finally donated to the Baltimore & Ohio Museum in Baltimore, MD, where it remained for 26 years. In 1981, an exchange was arranged for Shay #1 and a Porter 0-4-0 owned by Cass Scenic Railroad. Shay #6 was carefully removed from the old museum. It actually was driven onto the Turntable and out of the B&O Museum using air generated by a compressor. Today, #6 is still like new and a spectacular example of the fine technology of geared locomotives. It combines the grace and refinement of the Pacific Coast Shay with sheer mass . The locomotive is about twice as large as any other locomotive at Cass. The Big 6 is assigned to the Bald Knob, Spruce, and Elkins excursions. She weighs 324,000 lbs and has 48 inch drivers. Her three cylinders have a 17"bore and 18" stroke. When she takes a train up the steep grades at Cass (as much as 14%) she sounds fantastic.

For the rest of the month, volunteers will be lavishing plenty of affection on a Berkshire 2-8-4 steam locomotive as it chugs along the rails of the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad.

Eine Brockenwanderung ist besonders schön, wenn der erste Schnee die Landschaft in ein Winterwunderland verwandelt & die Vergangenheit unter der weißen Schneedecke verschwindet.
