I was also on this trip and I have to agree with Dave's comments. I was most dissapointed about missing the High Bridge. I was talking with the parents and they said they didn't know it was a special when they booked it. The little boy did very well most of the day but it was just too long for him.
The big problem with the night photo shot was a lack of communication. After standing around for over an hour and knowing that I had to be up very early, I had to give up. If someone had told us what was going on, we could have gone back to the station and sat down.
I also think that the photo freight and the Presidents trip need to be on different days. First, it would allow for more than two run-bys and second, some people like to ride both.
