Preserving Pocahontas

Smoke billows over the landscape as Shay No. 1 and Shay No. 4 haul cars of passengers to Whittaker Station on the Cass Scenic Railroad. The State Park opened in 1963, West Virginia’s Centennial Year. On September 1, the day that this photograph was taken, the trains carried 1,455 paid riders. Courtesy of Pocahontas County Historical Society, ID: PHS000779
