Monday’s Mountaineer Social<\/em> was the first passenger excursion over Crawford Notch since November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This famous view has been popular with photographers for generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was standing on the side of Route 302 looking across the chasm toward ‘The Girders.’ Lighting here can be a challenge. Normally when the train reaches Crawford this bridge would be in shadow . On Monday, bright hazy light made for excellent conditions to capture a train in this stunning vista.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To give the passengers a good view of the scenery, Conway Scenic’s trains take easy when approaching the Gateway at Crawford Notch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The train’s slow speed and a handy telephoto zoom lens allowed me to make several compositions of the train on the bridge by adjusting focal length and framing as the train climbed through the Notch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
