Cobb Farm Runby
Continuing with the chase of the Mass Bay RRE's 'Covered Wagons In The Snow' special on the Conway Scenic's ex Maine Central Mountain Sub behind the matched pair of circa 1949 F7s, Boston and Maine 4266 and 4268. After shooting them at Sawyers River they stopped at Cobb Farm road at the second of five runby locations where they let off riders and did four passes. After grabbing the shot of them on the Second Iron bridge over the Saco we joined the friendly crowd for some simple 3/4 wedge shots. I like this one as a gust of wind sent some big flakes swirling about in a snowy scene as they approach the crossing headed east here at about MP 72.3.
