(Returning in 2023)

There is always something magical about night photography, even more so with vintage railcars! The East Troy Railroad Museum is offering a special night and 'blue hour' photo shoot. 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

  • Sturdy shoes. NO open toe/open back shoes.
  • A sturdy tripod and a camera capable of long shutter speeds.
