The other day, I exposed this sequence of digital photos while traveling on Conway Scenic’s Snow Train along New Hampshire’s Saco River on the former Maine Central Mountain Division near milepost 64.
Snow Train has only three more days of scheduled operations before it concludes its 2022 season, and I’ve been trying to make the most of the frozen landscapes before the train finishes.
Photos exposed on March 2, 2022 using a Nikon Z6 with 24-70mm lens.

The other day I was part of a crew that ran GP35 #216 light engine from Conway Scenic Railroad’s North Conway, NH yard to milepost 64 on the former Maine Central Mountain Division.
Our mission was to clear flangeways from ice accumulation and freshly fallen snow.
Once stopped at milepost 64, I climbed down and made a few photos using my Lumix LX7.
Although the sky was a flat December gray, the scene brightened when the sun briefly emerged from a low cloud bank over the Saco River.
Soon we were working eastward again.

During Conway Scenic Railroad’s Snow Train season last month, I took this photo from engine 573 as it approached milepost 64 along the Saco River.
We were plowing snow ahead of the scheduled train. The sun was rising behind the engine and it made for an interesting juxtaposition.
Exposed digitally with my Lumix LX7.
