Day 2 of the 2010 Cass Railfan started with a little rain and got worse from there. The weather could have been the worst weather I have ever taken photographs in and that includes a night in Yellowstone where it was -20. Enough gripping about something I could not control.
Three engines went up the mountain on Saturday. Shay # 11 and # 6 pulling the passenger coaches and Shay #5 working the logging train. After a long climb, we need to stop for water. Shay #11 and #6 are being filled with a gravity feed tank located next to the track.
Once filled, the train moved on and out of the fog streamed #5 will the logs.
It's hard to tell whether it is the steam/smoke or fog and the train moves past.
On top of the mountain, visibility was about 50 feet as had moved into the clouds. Almost a ghostly image.
One more from the top.
Two more stops during the afternoon. At the last location, we finally started to get a few breaks in the clouds.
And last but not least, scenic downtown Cass, WV.
