Trains Magazine - Polson Logging Co. No. 70 at Mineral, WA

[BobH]

The May 2012 issue of Trains Magazine features a photo of the newly restored Polson Logging Company #70 at Mineral, WA.

Normally, I couldn't post a magazine cover due to copyrights, but this case is an exception. It's my photo on the cover this month.

(Yeah, I'm pretty dang excited about that...)

Congratulations.

Excellent shot for the cover too. Do they run the train very often or is it like the Portland trains that only come out every few years?

It runs 4 days a week (Thurs-Sun) all summer long. Thursday is a diesel trip, Friday through Sunday is steam powered. This is one of two engines that will be doing the majority of the steam trips this season.

Excellent!

Well done! I know how hard it is to get a cover shot. You have to frame everything so the subject is clear and the magazine still has room for all that text. Not to mention that you have to have a subject that is timely and fits with the feature story.

You're correct Mike, there are all kinds of things that have to all come together to get a cover photo. This was about 4 months in the making, and they considered several photos. I actually have two shots in this issue, there's also a full page photo inside as part of the article. It's probably my most prestigious accomplishment to date, and definitely the one I'm most proud of.

Congratulations Bob! Quite a bit deal!

Wouldn't you know it, my March issue of Trains never showed up. Dropped by Tacoma Trains yesterday and gee surprise, surprise, all sold out. Finally found a copy at QFC. Looks great. How many copies did you buy?

 

[BobH]

I haven't bought any yet Steve, they're impossible to find around here. May have to order a couple from Trains.

 

[Steve Carter]

QFC in Gig Harbor has about 4 more copies, you want me to get for you?
