Thanks. I geuss I am a goad speler[:D]. I guess I want to be tidy or something. Maybe my mom's advice about not misspelling words in my homework.[:D][:p] <br /> Dacote, I have heard about the Cass Scenic Railroad. It runs excursion service on the former Mower Lumber Company logging line. It owns the largest Lima-built Shay, which was a three-cylinder, three-truck unit built oringinally for the Western Maryland Railroad in 1945. It weighed 324,000 pounds and had a tractive effort of 59,700 pounds. The large locomotive operated on the 9 percent grades of the Western Maryland's Chaffee Branch but was retired in 1953 and sent to the Baltimore and Ohio Transportation Museum. In April 1980, the loco was taken to Cass.
