Durbin Fall Photo Charter to feature steam-powered Climax

Group,

After celebrating a very successful three day experience on the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad and Potomac Eagle Scenic Railroad in April, we are delighted to announce a single day fall photo freight on the Durbin & Greenbrier Valley Railroad in Durbin, W.Va. on Saturday October 3, 2015. The single day event during premiere fall foliage will feature the railroad's recently painted Moore & Keppel Climax No. 3 disguised and re-stenciled for an obscure W.Va. timber hauling railroad. This will be the first time the locomotive has ever been re-stenciled, and it'll be the first time in many years that the locomotive has operated on a photo freight consist during premiere fall colors.

The trip will operate along the railroad's 5-mile Greenbrier branch in Durbin, W.Va. on the morning of October 3, 2015. The train will return to Durbin in the afternoon before an exclusive night photo shoot takes place in Durbin. Weather permitting, the night photo shoot will incorporate the beautiful Milky Way at an obscure bridge just outside of Durbin.

This exclusive event is limited to only 30 photographers. The trip will also include an on-train lunch at no additional cost to the patron. Tickets are available for a very limited time at $105.00 starting June 3. Prices will increase to $110.00 on July 15th. The trip is expected to sell very quickly!
