Another in my ballast train series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday, April 22, 2022, Conway Scenic Railroad operated a Work Extra on the Redstone Line to Pudding Pond to dump ballast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I traveled with the train and used my Panasonice Lumix LX7 to document the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was the first time since the railroad acquired former Maine Central GP38 255 that it worked out the Redstone Branch as far east as Pudding Pond. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The significance of this foray east was that old 255 would have routinely worked Maine Central freights on this same section of track between the late 1960s and the early 1980s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
