I've been wanting to visit the Nevada Northern Railway for several years now and finally was able to do so during the Winter Steam Charter over the weekend of February 11-13th, 2022. I had a great trip and although drones weren’t allowed during the photo runbys, we chased by car on Sunday afternoon so we could grab some aerials as the train was moving between runby locations in Robinson Canyon. Here we see Nevada Northern Railway steam locomotive #91 pulling a work train southbound through the Canyon out of Ely, Nevada as the light begins to fall behind the mountains on February 13th, 2022. According to Wikipedia: "The Nevada Northern Railway Museum is a railroad museum and heritage railroad located in Ely, Nevada and operated by a historic foundation dedicated to the preservation of the Nevada Northern Railway. The museum is situated at the East Ely Yards, which are part of the Nevada Northern Railway. The site is listed on the United States National Register of Historic Places as the Nevada Northern Railway East Ely Yards and Shops and is also known as the "Nevada Northern Railway Complex". The rail yards were designated a National Historic Landmark District on September 27, 2006. The site was cited as one of the best-preserved early 20th-century railroad yards in the nation, and a key component in the growth of the region's copper mining industry. Developed in the first decade of the 20th century, it served passengers and freight until 1983, when the Kennecott Copper Company, its then-owner, donated the yard to a local non-profit for preservation. The property came complete with all the company records of the Nevada Northern from its inception."

I typically try not to join the photo line on charters as a norm simply because I want something a bit different than what other photographers come away with, such as this shot of the actual photo line as Norfolk & Western 475 passes a string of boxcars and caboose that were set out at Groff’s Siding on the Strasburg Railroad. This was during the recent great photo charter hosted by the Historic Transport Preservation’s John Craft at Strasburg, Pennsylvania on November 7th, 2021. A group of about 40 or so photographers and rail enthusiasts spent the day doing photo run-bys resulting in many of the photos I’ve been posting from the Strasburg area. According to Wikipedia: Strasburg Railroad (Norfolk and Western) No. 475 is a 4-8-0 "Mastodon" type steam locomotive owned and operated by the Strasburg Railroad outside of Strasburg, Pennsylvania. Built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in June 1906, it was part of the Norfolk and Westerns’ first order of M class numbered 375-499. Today, No. 475 is the only operating 4-8-0 type in North America and the Strasburg Rail Road's oldest operating steam locomotive.
