Mount Rainier Scenic RR is
known for its collection of geared logging style locomotives from each
of the major builders: Climax, Heisler, Shay, and Willamette. These were
built for steep mountain grades and tight curves. We see five
locomotives in operation during two visits, including a photo charter
with log cars, and with the NRHS 2011 convention special.
Steam at Conway -
we make a brief October visit to Conway Scenic Railroad in the White
Mountains of New Hampshire and capture Canadian National #7470 pulling
both passenger and freight trains.
Durango & Silverton Photo Freight -
here are our favorite scenes from a 2005 two-day charter, featuring
runbys in areas only accessible by train. We encounter a snow storm the
first day, and a backdrop of snow capped mountains on day two! (Analog)
The Black Hills Central -
linking Hill City and Keystone South Dakota, this railroad has 4 steam
engines and 2 diesels. Our program presents unique locomotive #110, an
articulated 2-6-6-2T tank engine built for Weyerhaeuser Timber Co. It
is perhaps the loudest locomotive we’ve ever recorded as it climbs Tin
Mill Hill!
