There is always something magical about night photography, even more so with vintage interurban railcars! We are offering a unique special sunset, 'blue hour,' and night photo shoot featuring two recently-restored Chicago North Shore and Milwaukee Railroad interurban cars: "Silverliner" 761 and "MD" car 228. This is the first time Car 228 has participated in a night photography session! Participants will ride on Car 761 between several different photographic spots along the East Troy Electric Railroad for unique staged shots bringing the final years on the CNS&M back to life!
Space is limited to 35 photographers. This small group allows an intimate opportunity to get unique shots. Some shots might also incorporate historic vehicles, actors, and props. We will be recreating history! Lighting (constant lighting too, so no pesky flashes) will be provided by ETRM volunteer Sean Bowen. You must have reserved a ticket on the Photo Train to participate in the Photography Session. |
