Eastern Railroad Discussion > Potomac Eagle Charter - April 2015

Chase Gunnoe Photography hosted a charter on the South Branch Valley Railroad in Romney, WV. on April 18-19 2015. Using the Potomac Eagle's passenger cars and three first generation diesels in classic paint schemes the 75 photographers were treated to 14 different photo opportunities over the two days. We started on Satuday at the fog shrouded Mayhew Trestle. We had bright sun until mid morning on Sunday. Here are a few of my favorites.

1. B&O 6604 on the north end of our passenger train at Mayhew Trestle just south of Romney, WV.

2. B&O 6420 in its Chessie paint scheme in charge of a seven car freight at the same location.

3. A Chessie caboose brings up the rear.

Thanks for sharing.

I've been on a couple of their railfain-oriented excusrsions and they always put on a fantastic show. Plus, it's one nice piece of RR scenery-wise.

GREAT stuff...!!! Thanks for sharing.

Fantastic photos, Jim.  Wish that charter had run before I moved out of the area.  Thanks for posting.
