Ballast Extra at Echo Acres.

On Conway Scenic Railroad, the first public grade crossing east of North Conway is Echo Acres.

Since the whole railroad is arranged on the timetable, trains are either moving east or west regardless of the compass.

I knew that Extra 573 was on the move west of West Side road, and I figured I could beat it to the crossing.

It was hot and hazy, and I made the most of the scene using using my Nikon Z6 with 80-200mm lens, while snapping a slide with my Nikon F3 with 50mm lens.

All the photos below were made digitally with my Nikon Z6.
