Step into the story of American railroading! Chase N&amp;W 6162 on the Historic Peavine! Get ready for a day of Norfolk &amp; Western action on home rails! Kentucky Steam Heritage Corporation is excited to offer a unique photo charter featuring&nbsp;Norfolk and Western SD40-2 No. 6162&nbsp;as she takes to the former Peavine Route for an afternoon of railfan photography! The charter will feature an afternoon westbound chase from&nbsp;Plum Run to Batavia (Afton), Ohio, with numerous opportunities to photograph 6162 working her way through the communities and scenery of this historic former N&amp;W route. From classic small-town railroad settings to locations featuring Norfolk and Western&rsquo;s iconic Color Position Light (CPL) signals, this chase promises plenty of opportunities to capture 6162 in settings that showcase the character and history of the N&amp;W. And you won&rsquo;t have to worry about keeping up with the train! Transportation will be provided between all photo locations, allowing participants to focus on getting the shot rather than navigating from location to location. A general itinerary with the planned photo locations and schedule will be released when you sign up to participate. As we get closer to the event date further communications will be sent regarding meet up locations, meal plans and any changes that might occur.&nbsp;PLEASE NOTE: Our current timetable of 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM&nbsp;serves as a placeholder only and&nbsp;may change slightly as we finalize locations and timing with train crews.&nbsp; But the action doesn&rsquo;t end when the sun goes down! Following the westbound move, participants will break for a meal, followed by an exclusive night photography session featuring classic N&amp;W CPL signals. With 6162 illuminated against the darkness and those unmistakable CPLs standing trackside, this will be an opportunity that no N&amp;W fan or railroad photographer will want to miss. Whether you&#39;re a longtime N&amp;W enthusiast, a serious railroad photographer, or simply a fan of classic power and signals, this is your chance to chase N&amp;W 6162 across the Peavine and capture her where she belongs&mdash;on Norfolk &amp; Western rails.
