RRHMA Photo Shoot - Part 12 - a photo on Flickriver

            The Railroading Heritage of Midwest America recently held a night photo shoot event as a fundraiser for the continued restoration of UP 5511 and UP "Challenger" #3985.

On hand for the photo shoot were Jeddo Coal Co. #85, a little 0-4-0 tank engine, and the RRHMA's own UP 6936 "Centennial" diesel locomotive and recently restored ATSF B40-8W #537. The locomotives looked great under the lights on this crisp April evening. 

The final shot of the evening is of the drumhead on business car "Selma", sporting the Union Pacific herald and steam locomotive #s 844 and 3985 - the former still owned and maintained by Union Pacific, while the latter is owned and being restored by RRHMA for future excursions.
