A visit to New Hampshire\u2019s Conway Scenic Railroad a few weeks ago was unusually rewarding.<\/p>\n

We were invited to travel on a special chartered excursion that worked east on the old Maine Central Mountain Division, a portion of the railroad that only rarely sees trains.<\/p>\n

It was my first time over that portion of the line.<\/p>\n

I made photos with my Lumix LX7, FujiFilm X-T1, and old Nikon F3 variously loaded with Fuji Provia and Kodak Tri-X.<\/p>\n

The train crew was very accommodating in regards to photo stops, and suggested some great vantage points.<\/p>\n
