Y'all have got to see these gorgeous Heisler photos.

Remarks: With her brakemen winding up the hand brakes, a Mower Lumber Company log train descends off the 8.7% grade below Whittaker Camp. The power for this trip is the 90-ton, former Meadow River Heisler #6, lettered as a Mower engine for today's photo session. Although this Heisler is of similar size to some of the Shays at Cass, she's actually the second most powerful locomotive in the stable, behind WM Shay #6.

Great photos.  Thanx for posting them.

Everyone else -

Don't fail to notice the links under the photos; they will take you to more fine shots of geared locos at Cass Scenic.
