Winterail Railroad Photography

The Original Railfan Multimedia Show Next year's program: March 28, 2026

Great railroad photography programs since 1978

Winterail 2026 Saturday, March 28

Thanks to everyone who joined us in Corvallis, Oregon, for our 47th program of digital presentations and a rail collectibles sale.

Next year we have a new location: Albany!

Due to factors with the Corvallis School District, we have made the decision to move Winterail. Our new home is the Russell Tripp Performance Center, located at Linn Benton Community College (LBCC), 6500 Pacific Blvd, SW, in Albany, OR.

We’ve had several meetings with the events coordinator at the Tripp Center and they are excited to have Winterail at their facility. We look forward to bringing you another successful show at our new home!

Watch for more details this fall. If you wish to receive email alerts, email winterailoffice@gmail.com.
