Summary[edit]

Description
English: Title: A classic direct gear locomotive pushes cars of tourists out of the station at Cass Scenic Railroad State Park in Cass, West Virginia

Physical description: 1 photograph : digital, tiff file, color.

Notes: Purchase; Carol M. Highsmith Photography, Inc.; 2015; (DLC/PP-2015:055).; Designed to climb the steepest grades, swing around hairpin curves and negotiate frail temporary tracks, such locomotives pulled incredibly heavy loads from woods to mill in the early 1900s. Unlike standard steam locomotives, they are driven by direct gearing to each and every wheel. Power was all-important in the days of widespread lumber harvesting when West Virginia led the nation with more than 3,000 miles of logging railroad lines. All that are left (as of 2015) are 11 miles at Cass, restored as a tourist route up the mountains.; Forms part of: West Virginia Collection within the Carol M. Highsmith Archive.; Title, date and keywords based on information provided by the photographer.; Credit line: West Virginia Collection within the Carol M. Highsmith Archive, Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division.
