Hi Followers,
I have received several inquiries related to the number of remaining spots we have on our upcoming photo excursions in April. Below is an outline of the excursions we are currently offering, along with an updated list of how many spots remaining for each of the trips we are offering.
Friday April 17, 2015: Thanks to a partnership between the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad, we will be offering a three hour night photo session at the railroad's Ridgeley, W.Va. shops that will feature the railroad's GP30 diesels, small Plymouth switcher, Western Maryland 2-8-0 No. 734, and in-progress photos of Chesapeake & Ohio 2-6-6-2 No. 1309. This unique opportunity will feature human interest props, abstract photo possibilities, and unique access to the railroad's vintage restoration shop and yard area. 50 percent of the proceeds from this photo session help benefit the ongoing restoration efforts of C&O No. 1309.
Saturday April 18, 2015: On Saturday morning at 8:00 AM, we will depart from Romney, W.Va. following the South Branch of the Potomac River for a day of photo runbys featuring the railroad's B&O F7(A) No. 722 and Chessie GP9 No. 6240. This will be a very unique time to catch the Potomac Eagle operating during what is projected to be peak spring foliage. We will visit photo locations that include wooden trestles, rock cuts, and open valley vistas. Additionally, we plan to utilize human interest props and vintage antique cars and other infrastructure throughout the day. Our scenes are designed to help replicate scenes from the 50s and 60s. We will return to Romney by 6:00 PM for a night photo session in the area. Our night photo session will extend into 10:00 PM. For people who purchase Saturday tickets, the night photo session is included in the price. A Saturday night-only ticket is available for those who do not wish to ride Saturday's day trip. The trip includes three meals and is available for $150.00
Sunday April 19, 2015: This exclusive half-day trip will depart from Romney on Sunday morning at 8:00 AM featuring a special consist of either B&O No. 722 or the Chessie painted GP9 No. 6240. The train will operate south to Moorefield with extreme emphasis on unique locations in the 'Trough'. The trough is a very obscure and scenic portion of the South Branch of the Potomac River. This trip will focus on obscure and tight photo locations, only accessible with a small group. This trip is available to 25 photographers. We have only 2 spots remaining for Sunday's half-day trip. Sunday's trip is valued at $100.00 and will include a lunch.
