In addition to their own passenger train, with the U25B on the south end and FL9s on the north end, convention-goers also had the opportunity to shoot two other trains on the Naugatuck. New Haven RS3 529 leads a southbound train past the Thomaston station.

The third train to be photographed is a vintage freight, led by Naugatuck GP9 1732. The freight was part of a photo session held at Chase Bridge just north of Waterville.

On July 13th, FL9s 2027 and 2016 were called upon again to power an excursion train, this time from Stamford to Danbury. At Danbury the train paused for a couple of hours so pasengers could tour the Danbury Railway Museum.

After the stop in Danbury, the trip headed east on the Maybrook Line, which is normally only used for freight or to get passenger equipment from Danbury to Metro-North's shops at Croton, New York. At Hopewell Junction the trip paused for a photo stop before continuing on to Beacon and heading down the Hudson Line, then continuing on to Stamford.
