Cass Scenic before it was a state park

Shay No. 4 of the Cass, Greenbrier, Cheat and Bald Knob Scenic Railroad backs between switchbacks on the railroad in transition from logging railroad to tourist line. Today this is the Cass Scenic Railroad, and it celebrates its 50^th anniversary in 2013. Check out more Cass and West Virginia coverage in the August 2013 issue of Trains magazine. Photo by John P.
