Train Ride at Cass Railroad State Park

Cass Railroad State Park in Cass West Virginia. The whole city is now part of the park.
The engines are all restored Shey enginesand were actually used in the lumber camps. The railroad was built in 1901 and they used it to haul lumber from the mountians to the lumber mill



Lookout on Bald Knob the third highest peak in WVa. It was an 11 mile train ride to get here. This was the end point. From here we rode the train back to the town of Cass. At this point we were only 4 miles away from the town of Cass(at lest if we could fly)





The passenger cars were the old logging flat cars that have been made into passenger cars.


It was a fun day. I had ridden a train here when I was a little girl. The park was pretty new then. They have expanded and there are three different destinations for the train rides.
