(Conway Scenic timetable 34 predicates all movements on a east-west axis. Conway being the further station East and Hazens being the furthest west, without consideration for the compass).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the eastward train passed, we had about a 20 minute wait for the return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Engineer Wayne Duffett made a good show climbing the grade west from the Swift River Bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
