On Conway Scenic Railroad, the first public grade crossing east of North Conway is Echo Acres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the whole railroad is arranged on the timetable, trains are either moving east or west regardless of the compass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I knew that Extra 573 was on the move west of West Side road, and I figured I could beat it to the crossing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was hot and hazy, and I made the most of the scene using using my Nikon Z6 with 80-200mm lens, while snapping a slide with my Nikon F3 with 50mm lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the photos below were made digitally with my Nikon Z6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
