Night Photo Session to benefit restoration efforts of C&O No. 1309

Thanks to a collaborative effort between Chase Gunnoe Photography, the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad, and the WMSR Foundation, proceeds from a night photo session on Friday, April 17, 2015 will be applied toward the restoration efforts of Chesapeake & Ohio 2-6-6-2 No. 1309 at the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad. 50% of the funds generated by ticket sales to the night photo session will be given to the WMSR Foundation for parts needed to return the historic Mallet to steam, scheduled for the railroad's 2016 season.

The three hour night photo session scheduled from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM on Friday, April 17th, 2015 will feature the railroad's diesel equipment along with WMSR 2-8-0 No. 734, which will be operating its last season in 2015 before going down for an extensive overhaul. The night photo session will be hosted at the railroad's Ridgeley Shops, across the river from Cumberland and will feature several static and abstract photo opportunities using both ambient and flash lighting.

The three hour night photo is valued at $50.00 and tickets can be purchased by calling Chase Gunnoe at 304-553-9409 or email at Chase55671@hotmail.com.
