Railway Buffs Opportunity

12 years 5 months ago #174368 by steveheap
I meant to mention this before, but for those of you in the North Eastern US, there is a steam railway out of Cumberland Maryland that runs photographer's days - next one is in early January when they expect snow on the hills and tracks. Basically, they take about 50 photographers for the day, go along the track in the lovely mountain countryside, let the photographers get off and line up along the track, and then the train comes past at high speed. It then reverses to let the team back on board and repeats at the next picturesque spot. The highlight is standing in the tunnel as the train comes roaring (well sort of) into opening and stops in front of the group.

Well worth doing if you like trains, engines and photography in a lovely location.
