Hello! Hope all is well! On the week/weekend of the 4th of July, I met up with a bunch of my friends and we spent two days filming the Conway Scenic Railroad! We chase many trains! First we started with Conway Valley excursion from North Conway, NH to Conway, NH. After meeting at the station we went to West Side for the first shot. After West Side we went down to Conway, NH where the train would runaround and head back to North Conway. When the train got back to North Conway, we had almost two hours till they would had out to Bartlett, NH so we got something to eat and get gas. After that we went over to Intervale, NH to get the first shot of the Bartlett excursion. When the train passed we then got them at the "Cider Mill" in Glen, NH. After that, are next stop was Rogdor's Xing in Attitash, NH. We then made our way into Bartlett, NH where the train would runaround again and begin the journey back to North Conway, NH. We hit up Rogdor's Xing first on the way back again. After that we went over to Glen Station. After that we made our way into North Conway at the RT 302 crossing and got them there. When the train got into North Conway, they were going to do another Valley excursion to Conway, NH. We went to Echo Aches and got them there heading down to Conway. On their return, we went to Passaconway and filmed there and after got back into North Conway to watch them wrap up for the day. A day or two later, we all got together again on the 4th of July to chase the Moutaineer excursion. In the morning we chased the "Extra 216" heading down to Conway, NH with the Mountaineer consist at Saw Mill and got them heading back at Allen's Siding. After that we got something to eat and went back to the station to "figure out the game plan" for the next chase. We were debating on going up to the Frankenstein bridge in the Notch but we passed on it. The first spot was Intervale Cross for me, my friends went to another crossing just next to where I was at, Intervale Vista. After Intervale, I went over to Glen, NH and got them at the trestle bridge. After that I re-met up with my friends at Rogdor's Xing and got the train there then we went over to Bartlett. Once the train went thru Bartlett, we got on our way to the Notchland, NH. I was informed of an Extra heading out later in the afternoon and I was debating on seeing it or chasing the Mountineer. While leaving Notchland I made up my mind and decided to see the extra. The extra consisted of the RDC "Budd Car" 23 Milli and two cars and GP9 1751. I got them at Echo Arches then made my way back to North Conway to see the Mountaineer return and the Extra. The next day I got the Bartlett Excursion coming back at thr RT 302 crossing in North Conway, NH. Enjoy! :) CSRX Power: EMD GP38-2 252 EMD GP35 216 EMD GP9 1751 RDC 23 "Milli" Trains Chased: Conway Valley Train Bartlett Valley Train Mountaineer To The Notch Excursion CSRX Valley Extra to Conway
