We needed to continue to operate our regularly scheduled <em>Valley<\/em> trains, so I planned a meet at Bartlett.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was excuted in traditional fashion. Speed through Bartlett is limited to ten mph. Conway Scenic&#8217;s <em>Valley Train<\/em> returning from Sawyers cleared for the special by reversing into the siding near the Bartlett freight house. There was no delay to the Governor&#8217;s train, and the absolute minimum delay necessary to the Valley. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Working in my capacity as Manager, Marketing &amp; Events, I made these photos of the meet from the special using my Nikon Z6 mirrorless digital camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
