3.70 min. | 5.0 user rating		 On the night of June 26th, 2010, a night photo session was held at West Virginia Rails 2010 in Petersburg, WV. This was where the locomotives posed for pictures after dark, with the yard lit up like a movie set complete with actors posing around the locomotives. This was the first time I attended a professional night photo session and it was a great experiance. I did two more of these the next year, and I hope to take advantage of these wonderful opportunities in the coming years.

Before the Night Photo Session can begin at West Virginia Rails 2010, preparations must be made while the sun starts to set. The all day excursion train heads back to Romney while the engines are taking their places. Volunteers set up the flood lights while the steam engines get fired up. Enjoy!

3.40 min. | 5.0 user rating		 In commemeration of my FOURTH YEAR on YouTube, I've decided to upload my video of the Chase of the All-Day Excursion from West Virginia Rails 2010! The chase took us from Petersburg to Romney, through some wonderful farm land and near the Potomac River. Western Maryland GP30 #501, with South Branch Valley's #100, pulled the train North - B&O F-Unit #722 and GP9 #6404 were on the Southern end for the Photo Runbys. I tried to upload a version I edited in Pinnacle Studio 12, but the file proved to be too large :P... So, here's the Window's Movie Maker version... Hope you enjoy it and KEEP ON STEAMING! -Trainmaster844 (Chris K.)
