Remember riding back in the 70's. Wish it was still around and not a bike trail but oh well.
This might answer some of your questions.

What's the best way to repair this? Fill it back in with a new culvert, or a new trestle. What ever the repair scheme, bet the line will be down for awhile.

I was up there two weeks ago. I really liked those freight trucks under 7470 tender. :P It's been a few years since I've been there (last time being right after Dave purchased the place). Seems the exterior of the cars need some TLC, the place needs to be picked up, junk as in Old equipment everywhe...
Here’s a video of the days activities.

Talking about learning curve. When they were putting 7470 to bed, they didn’t center the engine on the turntable bridge and when they spin her around the bridge jammed. Oops, move her a little forward please
My son and I were on the train. They were behind schedule from the get go. They didn’t have the train set up the night before, had to do a few moves to get the train built. Then there from what I can only guess was a stuck brake shoe or loose brake hose as the conductors kept walking up and down the...
What's up with the Boston leg of the Lake shore being bus only for the summer?
Sorry if this was mentioned and I missed it. In the latest trains mag. Brian Solomon has a nice article about David Swirk and David does mention restoring 501 and possible expansions of trains heading east, maybe.
I knew Dave when he worked at the pioneer valley RR in Westfield mass. One of the nicest guys out there. Good luck Dave, there will be good things going on with the Conway with Dave at the helm.
I'll be taking the Vermonter to visit my daughter in Windsor, VT on the 24th from Springfield. Should be interesting ride and I'll report back on any delays I encounter. I've always wanted to do this ride now that it follows the CT river all the way up to White River Junction, should be fun and I'm ...
Well, tickets could be sold at the check in desk, or with cash from a conductor the way Amtrak does it. If someone misses the train ohwell. Same with the layover on the Notch or what have you. I've written to Conway Scenic, we'll see if I get a response. I think it could be a plus going the otherway...
Had the pleasure of staying at Attitash Mountain Resort for vacation this past week and my son and I had the opportunity to see just about every train that passes the resort at least once over our stay. Saw the Notch train Tuesday and Thursday and while I didn't notice which engine was pulling Tuesd...
Oh well now, im sure you know why. Last year someone named Al Mayo took issure with the confederate flag on Bobs sign causing a scuffle with Al filming the entire event to post online during one of his race baiting trysts( he stood in front of Bobs table screaming at his sign) . Both parties were a...
