The former Maine Central Mountain Division crests a rise just east of  Bartlett near Rogers Crossing (where the railroad crosses Route 302 west of the Attitash Ski area).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday, I set up here with my Canon EOS 7D fitted with a 100-400mm telephoto zoom lens to capture a Conway Scenic work extra west led by GP35 216.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The extreme visual compression afforded by this lens exaggerates the grade profile of the line to show the effect of this rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This sequence of images is intended to show the train climbing the grade.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I selected my focus point manually and initiated the camera\u2019s autofocus independently of the shutter release in order to control the focus to my satisfaction. This separate focus-control is among the features of the Canon EOS 7D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
