The Martinsburg Mixed with Everett Railroad 11

- The mixed train on a branch line has long been the subject of photo charters, to the point where it's been done to death. The premise is simple, you have a steam powered freight train up front with a lone coach or combine at the back for photographers to ride on all day Thankfully, Chris Lantz's take on the mixed train was a radical departure from the norm. Scenes would be staged all day for slices of life along the railroad, with the makeup of the train changing to truly reflect the picking up and setting off of freight cars throughout the day. The pièce de résistance was the return leg, with the locomotive turned, but not combine, staying in the same of travel.
This was the setup for "The Martinsburg Mixed" on the Everett Railroad, with different locations than what was on the HTP Steam Special charter the year before. Everett Railroad 11 would make a return appearance, but this time in a different shape. The locomotive had been converted back to its as-built oil fired state, snow plough from its Bath & Hammondsport days fitted, and a headlight that was fashioned from one of Reading 2100's ditchlights.
All of this created a perfect environment for the best photo charter I have ever been on. It was a genuine treat to watch the day unfold with tough November lighting to shoot in. I felt pushed a photographer and videographer, and I look forward to attending to any future charters Chris is planning.

Great night video and awesome catches and chase
Very nice train ride! wow, so much smoke from this little steam engine, very cool! 😎
Excellent!!!
Your conductor needs to know his part better! The Agent shows him his watch and he looks at it and says right on time. He should have also had a watch on to confirm that both of them had the same time. He doesn’t know if their on time or not because if the the Agents watch was wrong then he would check his watch to see if for sure they were on time. Back in the time period that they are trying to portray he would probably been disciplined!!
Hi there Joe, my name is Max and I’m a conductor at the Everett. I was the conductor on this photo event and I wanted to apologize personally for my lack of a timepiece in the aforementioned shot. You’re entirely right that I was a degenerate in not having my own time piece present and I feel terrible that I wasn’t able to produce the proper content on this charter. Thank you for pointing out this shortcoming of mine, I hope to learn and grow with this newfound feedback. In the meantime I will make amends for my sins against railroad history in whatever way I can. Have a blessed day sir.
