And why would they? This was the MEC line to St. J. MEC discontinued passenger service on the line in '58.
I'm pretty sure they ran them on one of the RRE "Round the mountains" excursions.
Photo in Bartlett was the best I could find TY Ed Houghton: https://wxtoad.com/images/rrp/101-200/166.jpg
I know there's also a photo of them at the Gateway...maybe displayed in the N. Conway Depot?

Sad to see it go but we knew this day was coming. I remember reading something a while back that the Conway Scenic, wanted the fuel tank from 1757, to replace the one on 573. Not sure why or what came of it.

Hi
I was just wondering IF the problem with CNR # 7470 tender truck has been fixed yet? Or is Conway Scenic waiting until the last minute to fix it????
Next the Mass Bay RRE still has on their website, the annual New Year Day run with # 7470, is this going to take place?????

Conway Scenic could now add "World's largest collection of original Maine Central Railroad diesel locomotives" to their marketing literature.

WOW, I don't think anyone saw this coming. Fantastic news and with the 470's acquisition of 72 the Conway Scenic will have quite the setup of motive power.

Does anyone know if Conway will be painting it in-house or if they're planning to send it somewhere to be painted (e.g. Waterville)?
