cass railfan weekend 2011

Here's one from the Bald Knob Wye:



And one more from the night shoot at the water tank:



#11 is sitting on the former logging mainline which connected to the C&O mainline that Big Six is sitting on just out of the frame to the right. ; The boiler house in the background once supplied power to the mill and the entire town of Cass. ; The drive line for the belt driven equipment in the mill is visible just in front of Big Six. ; After two fires in the 1970's, all that's left are the foundations and twisted metal.

 

I love the look of the straight on shot Michael!

 

Thanks John!

 

Here's three more from Sunday morning. ; Out of the 4 railfan events I've attended, I've seen this runby take place about 15 times and this is the only time I've seen it occur in full sun:

Very nice! ; I really like all 3, the first one with all three is just stunning. ; The second one is a nice close up and the third one is great seeing the bend in the train!
