66620 running about 3 hours late runs through Bamford on a Thursday evening. This and the following train running ten minutes behind also running to Earles, despite the fading light tempted me down the road to see if the 20 was around.
A shot of Atlas running. I really want to use this as my main pic for the contest but it looks like he only has one leg, what do you guys think?
Back when I was younger the Conway Scenic Railroad was a strictly seasonal operetion and would largely shut down during the winter months. In recent years however it has become a year round operation running trains to Conway all winter long and for the first time this winter running trains through Crawford Notch in the snow. Not wanting to miss out on the chance for some snowy winter shots along the old Mountain Sub I made the trip up on the long President's Day weekend to try for some snowy images.
Alas the Saturday trip featured just CSRR 255 solo with five cars meaning the return trip which is the better chase photographically would be long hood forward which just didn't interest me. Regardless, I did make the trip up through the Notch for a few signature shots on the westbound trip. Having reached the at the end of their run at MP 85 on the former Maine Central Mountain Subdivision 255 has runaround her train and is now coming back up the main to couple to the east end. At 1900 ft, Crawford depot is the summit of the line, and they have climbed some 1400 ft in the 25 miles since leaving North Conway grades of up to 2.2%.
This unit is right at home here having been built in November 1966 for the Maine Central Railroad as part of an order of 13 of the model which were the first batch of second generation diesel locomotives purchased by the road. She came to Conway Scenic in 2022 and still wears her Vermont Rail System red paint from her nearly two decade second career as Clarendon & Pittsford 203 after having being sold by MEC successor Guilford Transportation in the early 1990s.

Keep On Running
The Living End
Standing still, life rolls on Old men die, the young stay strong
The world goes round and upside down again But all will be okay my friend
All will be okay my friend
There will be rain and sunny days
It's all the same, the shelter might change
The world goes round and upside down again
But all will be okay my friend
All will be okay my friend
Without a heart you're nothing
Without a dream you're lost
You've gotta keep on running
Gotta keep on running
A 12 minute exposure from this mornings Focus South Shoot at Minnamurra, to shoot the well known Stack Island. The clouds came across at just the right time, as the sun was rising behind the island. Started this image 8 minutes before sunrise, which allowed for the sun to break and rise above the horizon for four minutes before the exposure finished allowing the rays and colour to drag through the image. Very happy with this one.
Thanks very much to my mate Ant for the Luminosity tips and tricks. It was great catching up over the past three weeks mate. Safe trip back to Japan, and I look forward to our next catch up. Its been a blast. Hope you like "keep On Running"....Cheers, Mike
