The other day, in preparation for debut of Conway Scenic\u2019s\u00a0Mountaineer<\/em>, the railroad operated a work extra with locomotive 1751. This ran up the former Maine Central Mountain Division to clear debris and rocks that had fallen on the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To move the heaviest rocks, railroad president and general manager Dave Swirk personally operated an excavator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I traveled with the train to document its work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the return run, I posed a sequence of photos at the famous Frankenstein bridge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photos exposed using a FujiFilm XT1 with 18-135mm lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
