The inside of Helmstetter’s Curve on the Helmstetter’s farm.
Over the years from 1989 to 2010, I visited the Western Maryland Scenic Railway at least 10 times with family and friends.
On six of those trips I was on Carl Franz photo specials. The visits were a variety of spring, summer and fall events.
The weather conditions were a combination of great, fair and lousy. I will highlight the best in four installments.
This report is the June 6, 1999 special I attended with Dave McKay and Marty Surdyk. The second in a couple of weeks will be the Oct. 18, 1999, fall special I attended with Jeff Troutman. Early next year I’ll continue with the best of the rest, then finally my favorite night photography photos.
All of thse images were made in 16 miles between Cumberland and Frostburg, Maryland.

Out on the line at a location known by the photographers as the gravel pile.
