"Covered Wagons in the Snow" @ Bartlett, NH
With both of Conway Scenic's steam locomotives currently out of service, recently restored Boston and Maine F7's #4266 and #4268 were used as a substitute to the Mass Bay Rail Enthusiasts 2023 "Steam in the Snow" fan trip. Despite the cloudy skies, the two old gals put on a good show, with a couple inches of fresh powder on the ground to boot.
The new stuff doesn't tickle my fancy but seeing these workhorses from days gone by restored to their former glory reminds me why I have a fondness for railroads and their history. There is no question that the best days of the railroad industry are dead and buried, but thanks to donations to the 470 Club and the hard work of many volunteers and Conway Scenic employees, history survives the test of time and the scrapper's torch in 2023.
