This is from a post on the Las Vegas Photographic Society meetup group by John Ulmanis.
April 24 the Friends of the Nevada Southern will be having a Photographers Special train run ay the Nevada State Railroad Museum in Boulder City. More details are still being hashed out and will post those here as they come in. Most likely be an official Meetup.

So far photographers will have access to the Depot displays, maintainence facilty, storage yard and along the right-of-way to Railroad Pass. The run-bys will be with all 4 locomotives in different consists....another words..4 different train sets. Those of you who were at last years Meetup there have an idea what is out there but this time operating. Just FYI...a safety meeting is being arranged before the start of the day and most likely be MANDATORY....remember that 150 tons of train does not stop fast and does not steer....I hate to be the "Photo Nazi" but I am going to recommend that anyone who does not attend the safety meeting will not be allowed on the right-of-way or where equipment is operating to photograph...this is for everyone's safety...

On another note.....photo submissions will be accepted for a 2011 NSRM calender...a quality printed calender..probably 9"x12"...selected photos will have photo credit and photographer will get a free copy...this train photo run is being provided free of charge for this reason..you are not required to submit from this run but would be a great opportunity to possibly be published...you can submit previously shot material or images shot afterwards as long it is from the Nevada Southern Railway or Nevada State Railroad Museum Boulder City...no over-processed images will be considered...minor tweaks or B&W conversions are fine... Details on how to submit, deadlines and image requirements will be posted here as they come in..The calender will be sold in the NSRM/BC gift shop.

Disclaimer...I will not be part of image selection for the calender...I will be submitting along with everyone else and have the same chances as everyone else but I will be part of the design process as a consultant/advisor.

The Friends of the Nevada Southern is a non-profit organization....Donations are tax deductable..the calender proceeds will be used to help with operating and maintainence costs of the train...

Soooooo....Save the Date!!!....This WILL be a fun day to get creative...A lot of neat train stuff other than the run-bys...

This will be an all day event.
