2016 Photographer's Weekend at the Sumpter Valley
Author: HeislerPower

On October 15 and 16, the narrow-gauge Sumpter Valley Railroad presented the 16th Annual Photographer's Weekend. Both operable steam locomotives, Sumpter Valley Railway Mikado number 19 and W.H. Eccles Lumber Co. Heisler number 3, were in service as well as a fleet of historic rollingstock. The weather on Saturday was a bit on the wet side, though it improved dramatically on Sunday. We had a great group of photographers and volunteers and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves even when century old equipment decided to be slighly tempermental . Anyway, I was coordinating and conducting, so I didn't get to participate camera wise in all the runbys, but I did capture a few images. 

Sumpter Valley Railroad

Enjoy, Taylor

Bit of a grey rainy day, but the colors were good.

Sunday would turn end up having far better weather as the sun made several appearances throughout the morning.

Sunrise and a couple head on shots. We didn't clean the locomotives as thoroughly as we have in the past, opting more for a workhorse with a well maintained appearance.

The Sumpter Valley RR is a wonderful location to visit especially when they have their Photographer's weekend or
when Martin Hansen has put on his photo charters there.  Very nice folks there doing a very nice job of maintaining
some very historic equipment.

The last photo features number 110 busily switching equipment around on Monday as the railroad prepares for winter.

Taylor, great shots at one of the truly super photographic railroads.  Wish I had known about this in advance.
