Conway Scenic Railroad Discussion (CSRX) - 2010

What engines have they been using this year for the Polar Express? In years past it’s been 573 leading the way and 4266 on the return trips.

Same this year

just a thought, but why not use 573 and 252? both are of MEC heritage, so why not?

If they’re doing the same thing with the “Yellow Birds” as they did with the “Sisters” they are done for the season. The Sisters never turned wheel for years after the notch train season had ended; they were winterized and put out on track two until the spring!

Hmm... then what is powering the New Years train?...

I remeber plenty of time the sisters(or one of them) were uses on the santa claus express

True... BUT most years they are tied up on track two... Were... sorry

so what's new? the only thing i've seen updates on is track delays and unique equipment sightings on amtrak. what's up, everyone just decide to take the day off?

Just about... :p not to much... not running on week days...

This is the time of year, when this thread starts to fall down to the bottom of the pile, it happens every year.

People are very busy this time of year. Not sure if you've noticed, but there's a major stress-inducing holiday just around the corner.

Sometimes... There's just nothing to talk about! Sorry, kids... adults are busy.

Haha I wish there was a "like" button on here like on facebook because I would like this Otto

The only real going on around Conway is that this will be the last weekend of Polar Express/ Santa Train Runs for the year. I believe these were all powered by the 216 and 252. The 2 are also supposed to be the motive power for the New Years eve train.

Valley trains will be making special winter runs for the xmas vacation week the 27th through the 1st, And of course we have the Steam in the Snow special running on 2nd.

Any more to report?

Are tix still available for SITS or is it sold out?
