Last month, one of my assignments at the Conway Scenic Railroad was to assist a television production crew from WCVB in Boston that was filming a segment on the railroad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was an interesting experience and I enjoyed speaking with the film crew and showing them around. I made sure they got to see some of the highlights of Conway Scenic\u2019s run over Crawford Notch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They interviewed Conway\u2019s President and General Manager Dave Swirk, while off-camera I discussed airbrake technique and practices with locomotive engineer Gordon Lang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I learned yesterday that the program will be broadcast this Thursday evening (September 5, 2019.) at 7:30pm on WCVB Channel 5 in Boston. It is part of the Chronicle show titled High Adventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The web address for the Boston WCVB Channel 5 TV is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Ireland I cannot access this website (for reasons beyond my knowledge it appears to be blocked), but perhaps my readers in the USA will be able to tune in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyone who knows me must realize the irony of this post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although I\u2019ve appeared on television a few times, I\u2019ve never owned a television set and have only watched commercial TV on rare occasions. I\u2019ll be curious as to the feedback on Conway Scenic\u2019s portrayal on High Adventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
