The Rocky Mountain Railroad Club is running a photo excursion on the Georgetown Loop on September 8th. Our understanding is that this will be the last year for former West Side Shay #9 at the GLR, so Dave Schaaf started coordinating with Phil Johnson a few months ago to try to make this happen. The plan is to leave Silver Plume at 8am and take advantage of morning light in the valley for a few photo run-bys, including some meeting the regular trains. We'll make a number of trips up and down the hill and do run-bys as scheduling around the regular trains permits, and call it a day in the early afternoon.
We'd like to open this up to all interested photographers in the interest of getting enough tickets sold to make this a solid go. Ticket price will be $65, and reservations must be received by August 27th. You do not need to be a Rocky Club member to buy a ticket.
I'm attaching a scan of the reservation form. Please fill it out and mail it (with check) to the Rocky Mountain Railroad Club, Georgetown Loop Trip, Box 2391, Denver, CO 80201-2391. Hope to see you there.
