Yesterday, Boston & Maine F7A 4266 led the Mountaineer westbound to Crawford Notch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This may not seem like a big deal for long time observers of New Hampshire’s Conway Scenic Railroad, as it has occurred in previous years. However, it was the first time I\u2019d ever witnessed this locomotive outside of the yard, and the first time I\u2019d photographed it working a train. (This locomotive is owned by the 470 Club, which also owns sister B&M F7A 4268 that is undergoing an operational restoration.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I thought it was pretty cool to finally see this antique on the move!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All going well, 4266 will work the train again today as well as the 930am Conway run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This coming weekend, September 5th<\/sup> and 6th<\/sup>, Conway Scenic will host its annual Railfan\u2019s Weekend. Owing to constraints imposed by the on-going Covid-19 epidemic, the event will necessarily be scaled back from previous years. However, 4266 is scheduled to work a pair of photo-freights on Saturday, and an Extra Photographers Special Mountaineer on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Photo freight has space for a few passengers, and tickets may be ordered online or from the CSRR ticket office (603-356-5251).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made these photos using my FujiFilm XT1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
