We got to the Conway Scenic shortly after lunch while a train was out on a Conway trip. Here's the station and yard area. |

Across from the North Conway station is this view. |

Such a large station for a small town. |

Looks like CSRX 216 GP35 is getting a little work done on her dynamic brakes. |

This engine was built for the Norfolk & Western. |

I found a former Conrail B23-7. It's out of use with a major mechanical failure. |

Back at North Conway 7470 is getting ready for the last trip of the day to Conway. |

After doing the Mt. Washington Cog Railway we decided to check out the Conway Scenic's Crawford station. Little did we know the Notch train was arriving soon. Here's Saco Lake across the road. |
|

After the Crawford Notch stop, the train continues on to Fabyan. Between Crawfords and Fabyan is this view of the Mt. Washington Hotel. That's Mt. Washington on the right. The Cog Railway right-of-way can be seen. |
