Only one thing missing. When they originally set up this November, 2019 photo charter, the folks from Trains Magazine had been hoping that the line from Cass to Durbin would be open, because that would open the door for something that's never been done at Cass.....a triple-header with a Climax, a Heisler and a Shay. Alas, that would have to wait for a future trip, as there is still one bridge on the Durbin line that needs work. For that reason, Meadow River Heisler #6 was unable to join the Climax/Shay line-up you see here. I guess that means we'll just have to come back in 2021 and do this again. Sign me up!
For aficianados of geared steam engines, it's "almost heaven." Here are some scenes from the park's annual Railfan Weekends, as well as some private charters.
