Space is limited to 35 photographers. This small group allows an intimate opportunity to get unique shots. You must have reserved a ticket on the Photo Train to participate in the Photography Session. A contest will be held to determine our 2024 Calendar photo. (Winning 2019 photo pictured left.)
Equipment should include newly restored Chicago, North Shore & Milwaukee “Silverliner” #761 and a train of Chicago, South Shore & South Bend electric MU cars. Lighting will be provided by noted night rail photographer Steve Barry from Railfan & Railroad Magazine. Schedule: 6:00PM - 10:00PM Fee: $50 per participant / $40 per ETRM/NRHS member |
