Photographers’ Specials on the Heber Valley, Western Maryland Scenic, Cass Scenic, and the Durango & Silverton! Return to yesteryear and thrill to the sight of steam locomotives hauling vintage freight equipment! Hop aboard passenger trains operated especially for photographers! These trains stop at scenic and usually inaccessible locations where passengers disembark, set up their cameras while the trains back down the line, and then get spectacular action shots as the trains steam past their cameras!
At the Heber Valley Railroad in Utah and the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad in Maryland, hard-working steamers pull freight equipment including boxcars, tank cars and coal hoppers. This is the first “Photo Freight” operated by steam locomotive #75 since being acquired and overhauled by the Heber Valley. On the Cass Scenic Railroad in West Virginia, old logging equipment is hauled by Shay locomotives to emulate the line’s heritage. Shay #11 is making its first outing since being converted from oil to coal. In Colorado, the Durango & Silverton’s annual Photographers’ Special makes stops at locations deep in the Animas River Canyon where access is normally impossible. Recently-acquired locomotive #483 is a thrill to see in operation.
Two stereo soundtracks, one with the natural train sounds, the other with narration added. The viewer can switch the narration on or off at any time.

All of these tourists railroads depicted in this program are great, but my favorite was the Western Maryland Scenic. Ok… Maybe I’m a bit biased, since I live near Baltimore and have taken numerous trips out to Cumberland to see Consolidation #734 in operation… But still… Lots of diverse countrysides and landscapes await your viewership on this DVD. 🙂

These are not scheduled trips but rather special excursions for the railfans throughout the world.

2 in the east, 2 in the west, good scenery, shot at the turn of the century (1999-2000), there’s lots of great steam action in the mountains, as well as some farms and picnic areas.
