Kurt,

Thank you for youyr article on the Photo Freight. You all did a most unusual piece of railroading for the 21st century.

Hello All

In spite of the weather I had a great time organizing and executing the event. Since this was my first charter attempt the whole thing was kept pretty quiet with just a few freinds invited in case things turned ugly... If I do another such charter (and there are no plans to at the moment), I'll actually put the word out.

The M&H RR is a class act and went out of their way before, during and after the event to make sure everything went smoothly.

The article was intended put forth a few thoughts and ideas, rather than just a bunch of "pretty pictures". I hope its entrtaining and maybe even helpful to everyone.

Hi Ted,

Don't thank me, be sure to thank Dave Crosby. He did a superb job on writing the article as well as organizing the trip. Despite the flooding, he was able to pull off a quality trip on the lower end of the railroad that lasted most of remainder of the day.
