It wasn\u2019t as warm as it looks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This morning I am preparing a short video on the plow ride that I will post on Conway Scenic Railroad\u2019s Facebook page later today. This is a follow up to last week&#8217;s video of Conway Scenic&#8217;s Plow Extra that has proven  extremely popular with hundreds of thousands of views on Facebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
