5142 Ann dr. Bath,Mi 48808 Don’t be superstitious and let Friday the 13th worry you, Because we are bringing the Luck of the Irish with us. Join us On the Eve of our second excursion to The Clare Irish Festival for a night time photo Shoot in the SRI Yard and around the turntable. Photographing trains at night can produce dramatic images. However, if you lack the knowledge to take night shots you might find it quite intimidating. This event will be geared toward people with little or no knowledge of the subject. ( More advanced photographers are encouraged to help teach.) Space will be limited so sign up for our newsletter and stay informed. We will give a short clinic ” How to setup and take night shots” prior to the photo shoot. We highly Recommend that you use a tripod for night shots. The Explorers meet at the Steam Railroading Institute in Owosso, Michigan every Saturday from 2:00 to 4:00pm. The group learns about railroading, fundraising, leadership skills, and much more. The members are involved with planning, promoting, and carrying out events at SRI including the popular Nightmare Express. Recently, the group has taken on the task of restoring Mississippian no. 76. If you’d like to become a member of the Explorer group, contact SRI at 989-725-9464. The group is open to both boys and girls who are in between the ages of 14 and 21.
Mississippian no. 76 Built in 1920 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works for the Jonesboro, Lake City and Eastern Railway Company as their #40, but was leased for many years to the St. Louis-San Francisco Railway Company as their #76. In 1947, she was sold to the Mississippian Railway, where she worked in local freight service for nearly 30 years before being sold to a tourist railroad. Purchased in 1995 by SRI the Explorers Post in the process of restoring her for operation.
