Join us for a day at the Monticello Railway Museum for the Southern 401 in Steam event.  The steam engines are impressive to see and photograph.  If you desire, you can even ride in a car pulled by the steam engine.  

Let's meet at the Museum, near the front door, at 10:30 when the grounds open.  We can photograph there, and then move to a couple other locations that may give us opportunities for different perspectives.
