Boston &amp; Maine F7As that were the stars of the day)  and the Conway Scenic staff to refine the details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mother nature cooperated and provided several inches of fresh powdery snow the night before the trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The morning of the trip, I conducted a safety briefing with Mass Bay&#8217;s people, and Kris and I made photos of the F-units in the North Conway, NH yard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We traveled on the train and during the course of the trip we made hundreds of winter F-unit inspired images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More to follow over the coming
