Noel was referring to the last ski train (and last fantrip of any kind) between Boston and North Conway in a blizzard in February 1972, not the sunny 1969 trip seen in my photo. The B&M abandoned the line north of Ossipee later that year and the sale to what became the Conway Scenic RR occurred in 1974. Following the end of the North Conway runs and into the 1980s the Mass Bay RRE ran various winter excursions to North Adams, Albany/Selkirk (I forget which), and Brattleboro.
