Tomorrow, Saturday June 27, 2020, Conway Scenic will inaugurate its\u00a0Mountaineer.<\/em>\u00a0This the rebranding of the \u2018Notch Train\u2019 that operates from North Conway over Crawford Notch using the former Maine Central Mountain Division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conway Scenic\u2019s Mountaineer <\/em>is the railroad\u2019s premier scenic journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mountaineer<\/em>  was the historic name for the express passenger train that ran from Boston North Station to the White Mountains via Boston & Maine\u2019s Conway Branch and Maine Central\u2019s Mountain Division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last summer, I organized a special publicity train to make photos and record video of our Notch Train\/Mountaineer<\/em> train set. Mike Lacey was the Engineer, Joe Costello was the Conductor, Adam Bartlett assisted as trainman\/videographer, and I made still photos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A variety of these images have since appeared in advertisements, on the web, and in the pages of Trains Magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
