As a special opportunity for railfans, Western Pacific Railroad Museum in Portola will offer an extra-fare event after the normal museum closing of a “Golden Hour Photo Shoot Session”. After the day’s railroad festivities, from 5:30 to 8 PM (sunset is at 6:30 PM), the museum will display four WP locomotives and allow visitors to take photographs in the late-afternoon/early-evening light. They plan to stage 0-6-0 steam locomotive WP 165, WP 1503, WP 501 and WP 608 for additional unique photo opportunities.

This event will be limited to 35 people so everyone can participate and frame their shots without other fans being in the photo.

The extra-fare for this event costs $50 in advance in their online store if you purchase online before 11:59 PM Friday September 27^th,  or $55 at the museum store on Saturday, 9/28, if the event is not sold out. Advance purchasers must bring their receipt to the museum store on the event day to get their wristbands.
