An old Shay tender tank and an old shop boiler make good water tanks at Oats Run.....
Around the sharpest curve on the railroad at the wye a couple of miles from the summit...
Not a very good pic, as we were getting into the clouds, but this is the only spot our engine was REALLY needed. Just below the summit of Bald Knob there is a stretch of 11% grade, which put both engines to work pretty hard (and a rare sight at Cass - two engines with clear stacks)....
