Crawfords Run Around
Having traveled more than 25 miles and climbed 1400 ft in elevation the Conway Scenic Railroad's Mountaineer excursion has reached its turnaround point at the top of Crawford Notch along the famed former Maine Central Railroad Mountain Sub. The classic first generation power is running around just west of the Gateway beneath the watchful stoney gaze of Elephant Head. CSRR owned GP7 573 led west trailed by F7 4268 (the ex MEC and B&M duo were built by EMD in Sep. 1950 and Oct. 1949 respectively).
