Rail Photography Day at the Western Pacific Railroad Museum in Portola. A Railroad Photography Workshop May 20th 2006 9:00-Evening. Open to the public $10.00 per person at the gate. Lunch and Dinner on your own. Several nice restaurants in the Portola area. The museum will operate prototypical freight and passenger trains on our 2.5 mile circuit of track for the benefit of photographers. This is a great opportunity to view and photograph many of the new items which the museum has acquired over the last two years. The museum roster currently includes over 40 locomotives and over 100 cabooses, freight and passenger cars. A swap meet will be going on inside the building with several dealers selling antique railroad memorabilia. The evening's entertainment will feature noted rail photographer and author Dale Sanders of CTC Board magazine fame. A night photo session will be hosted. You will need a tripod and cable release to participate in the night photo session. Additional slide shows will be presented in the evening inside the shop building. The museum gift shop will be open. The museum is featuring a new display on locomotive technology inside the engine house this year. Portola is about an hour from downtown Reno and Truckee. Please call 530-832-4131 between 10-5 for more information. |
