    This is a great video. Red on the #3, Artie on the #5 and Danny on the #2. Love the kids asking questions because i was the same way with my dad. I love Cass and Whistles. The whistle that runs on #2 now is a Reading 6 replica that i sold to Justin Guy the fireman. I cant tell you how pround it makes me knowing our whistle blows there all the time. Like a dream come true!

    This is a blast from the past! I especially enjoy hearing the little boy asking questions while the photographer tries to shush him to preserve the locomotive sounds. Priceless memories.

    Such awesome footage! This is wonderful and to see great footage of both trains and Artie doing his magic with his baby Shay 5.

    That Lunkenheimer 3 Chime whistle sounds beautiful on Shay 3, wish Shay 3 can run again!

    I don't think this is from the late 80s, Shay 2 has her original headlight here, which would be replaced by a larger one by the later years of the decade. My gut feeling is that this is from around 1983, when Shay 2 received her diamond stack and started running on coal. Fascinating footage. IIRC, engineer Artie Barkley's grandson now runs Shay 11, and for a while he actually operated her with the whistle Shay 5 had in this video!

    Flashback to the 1980s of Cass Scenic Railroad Shay #5 (Built by Lima Locomotive Works in 1905, as the oldest operational Shay steam locomotive in the world).

    This is cool. And a rare look at Shay 3 in operation. I wish this footage had a shot of the Mill. Which could help indicate what year this is. The mill burned in 1982. So if it was still standing during this time this could be 1981

    I'm guessing the reason the footage cuts just before Whittaker and skips to Artie at Bald Knob is because your camera battery died and you had just enough residual juice to turn it back on for a couple minutes. before it died a final time! I have plenty of Cass videos like this for that reason. lol Thanks for sharing the footage! Its a shame it doesn't still look like that.

    Sounds like a Hancock 3 chime
