LOVE the sound of a Shay as it "speeds" up the hill!

Tom Loftus Omaha, NE Date: 08/02/14 09:00 Re: Two days at Cass Author: jkh2cpu Glad a took a peek at this 'Video of the Day.'
Outstanding. John. Date: 08/02/14 09:26 Re: Two days at Cass Author: Jason-Rose Those Cass whistles are unreal. Definitely on my bucket list.
Jason Rose Spring, TX Rio Grande Explorations Date: 08/02/14 15:03 Re: Two days at Cass Author: csxmonsubfan That video doesn't do the whistle justice, you have to be there in person to hear it properly. Down at the station the whistle echoes off of the hillside and the chills crawl up your back. And the engineer really knows how to blow it.
