Gertrude Emma on the Roll at 125!

In recent weeks, I’ve focused on making still and video images of Conway Scenic Railroad’s Sawyer River and Mountaineer excursions to be used in upcoming advertising.

I wanted to capture the trains with Spring greenery and characteristic White Mountains scenery.

Among the placed I set up was along the Saco River where the ‘3rd Iron’ truss crosses. Here I was aiming for a broadside setting where I could picture the train rolling by.

I made this panned view of popular Pullman open observation car Gertrude Emma crossing the bridge.

This American classic is 125 years old this year! It was built in 1898 for the Pennsylvania Railroad. Conway Scenic restored the car in the 1980s.
