Steam & Excursion > Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad Photo Freight Cancelled

The Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad had scheduled a photo freight operation for last November, 2008. That operation was re-scheduled for February, 2009 due to conflicts with other events. Upon further review of our situation, we made the decision to cancel the February photo freight operation in order to concentrate our limited resources on our capital projects, particularly the restoration of our Willamette geared steam locomotive (partially funded by a Washington State Historical Society grant that has an imposed time limit).

Further, recent flood damage to the railroad in various locations operated over by MRSR has made any rail events in the next couple of months unlikely.

We regret any inconvenience this may have caused, and thank you for your patience.

Brian,

Probably a good idea given all that is going on. When you want to do one again, let me know and I would be glad to lend a hand. I've done mine on MRSRR for 20 years now and the line is great for photography.
Keep up the good work on the "Willie".

Martin

Sorry to hear it. It would be good to organize an official 'winter freight' next year. Let us know if you do so.
