On Saturday, April 16, 2005, the Southern Appalachia Railway Museum operated what many people believed to have been the first photo freight on the Whitewater Valley Railroad. Operating with a Lima diesel, we had coverage in Trains, Railfan, and CTC Board magazines.

Our first runby was an under-over photo with CSX 8878W at Connersville. |
|
We then moved down to the future Whitewater Valley
museum site where Dearborn Tower was already being rebuilt.

 |
The town of Laurel provided the perfect backdrop for a runby. |
|
Just south of Laurel we crossed the Whitewater River
where the bridge made a perfect photo location.

 |
Posing the train on the bridge allowed plenty of photo angles for the many riders. |
