| Conway Scenic Railroad posted On Tuesday May 16, 2023, Conway Scenic Railroad received its two new pieces of rolling stock via interchange with New Hampshire Central at Hazens, near Whitefield, NH. Conway Scenic Railroad CSRX 400019 was acquired in 2022 and has been stored off line for several months. Originally this was a 44-seat Union Pacific Chair Car, no. 5533, later Amtrak 4573, converted to HEP (headend power) as 4615, and was later Ringling Brothers 43004, and converted for use as a crew sleeper. This car was part of Ringling's Red Train set but later acquired by North Carolina DOT for conversion into a 62-seat coach for intrastate services. That conversion never took place. Conway Scenic acquired this car with the intention of using it as a crew car for seasonal employees. The other car is number 1216, a former Amtrak Budd-built baggage car that Conway Scenic plans to convert into a headend power car. CSRR GP9 1751 went to Hazens to collect the new equipment, and brought these cars east via Crawford Notch to North Conway where they arrived about 7:30pm on May 16, 2023. Hazens is located at milepost 101 on the former Maine Central Mountain Division and represents the westward limit of Conway Scenic operations. Here the railroad maintains its only active interchange with the rest of the General System. Photo at the Hazens interchange by Trainmaster Mike Lacey. |

| 1 of 23 photos posted by Conway Scenic Railroad On Monday May 15, 2023 Conway Scenic Railroad operated its second annual Mountaineer Social demonstration/familiarization train for the benefit of the railroad's employees, friends and special guests. This was the first excursion of the 2023 season to run over Crawford Notch to Fabyan, New Hampshire. It was a beautiful day for a train ride! Thanks to everyone that worked hard to make this special event possible! And thanks to everyone that came out for a spin on Conway Scenic Railroad. Conway Scenic's 2023-season Mountaineer begins regular revenue operation on May 27th and will initially operate Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. J.B. Rail Photog shared |
Conway Scenic Railroad posted three photos with the comment: "Last week, Conway Scenic operated a ballast train on the Mountain Division. This was loaded at the State Yard in North Conway (on the Redstone Branch), and ran west to dump stone on the line west of Fabyan as part of the railroad's on going maintenance program.
