Pete Lerro is offering the possibility of a charter.
Here is info from his emailing. He said it would be okay to post this on the NG Board, but that he doesn't have anything on his website, because its not a definite charter yet.
Southern Pacific #18 at Durango & Silverton Railroad
Patrons!
After two months of repairs, The Southern Pacific #18 “The Slim Princess” is now back in service. With the hard work from numerous contractors and D&S shop employees, a new cylinder has been fabricated and installed in the SP#18 at the D&S shop. In late June, a successful test run was made to Rockwood.
The Durango & Silverton is interested partnering up with Lerro Productions to put on a photo charter with the Southern Pacific #18. On Sunday and Monday (August 25-26, 2019), the SP#18 will pull a mix freight and passenger train for 40 photographers and will feature photo locations from the Highline to Silverton. The SP #18 will be leaving the D&S in September so this will be one of the last opportunity to see the engine in action on the Durango & Silverton.
The photo charter will cost $250.00 per day or $475.00 for both days. Each day will feature different locations with the exception that we will stop at the Highline on both days. Our consist will be 2-3 freight cars and two coaches.
Because of the time constraint, we are seeking the level of interest before putting the charter on sale. If you are interested, please respond to this email. The railroad has requested that the cut off be August 1st. If there isn't enough interest by August 1st, the photo charter will not occur. Again, we know this is a last minute announcement but the railroad is interested in seeing a charter happen with the Souther Pacific #18 before it leaves.
Regards,
Pete Lerro
