Eastern Railroad Discussion > Potomac Eagle - Romney RR DaysDate: 09/19/11 18:36 Potomac Eagle - Romney RR Days Author: JUTower Hi gang,
Here are a few shots from our day on the Potomac Eagle. 1. We started out the day on the 10am shuttle train with a bit of time in the cab of their F-unit, PESX 722, painted B&O and originally B&LE 722. 2. Pullin' the cord for the horn. 3. North of Vance, at the "twin bridges" north of Romney.    Date: 09/19/11 18:38 Re: Potomac Eagle - Romney RR Days Author: JUTower 4. Steam locomotive whistles, attached to an old steam tractor. Very satisfying for us to get to blow these - included were CN, PRR, B&O, N&W, and some logging railroads.
5. Live steam was set up on 100' of track. 6. The 2pm shuttle train at Hanging Rock (Vance)    Date: 09/19/11 18:40 Re: Potomac Eagle - Romney RR Days Author: JUTower 7. A 1920's vintage Stanley Steamer - a gas-fired steam car. It even chuffs and whistles!
8. The steam tractor 9. An American Bald Eagle takes flight - as viewed from the 5pm "Trough Train" near Moorefield, Wv.    Date: 09/19/11 18:43 Re: Potomac Eagle - Romney RR Days Author: JUTower 10. Another eagle shot. Bring a long lens! 300m with a 1.4 teleconverter.
11. Looking into a coach - the cool, almost fall night made for a cozy ride inside the 5pm train. 12. Just one shot from the night photo session. A group of 'fans taking their own shots of the "B&O" 722. http://www.potomaceagle.info Looking forward to our next trip on the PESR! -Alex    Date: 09/19/11 19:12 Re: Potomac Eagle - Romney RR Days Author: VFPNSFAN VERY cool series

A person could shoot for a lifetime and not get a chance like that. Love the eagle, too. Very nice work. Danny Harmon Tampa Date: 09/20/11 14:18 Re: Potomac Eagle - Romney RR Days Author: jmbreitigan You got a little bit of everything.
