On August 2, 2017, the Conway Scenic Railroad ran an extra to pick up two Maine Central freight cars from storage in Whitefield. GP9 1751 had been left at Crawford Depot the day before having led 252 and the Notch Train from North Conway. The crew left Crawford's with 1751 at about 7:00 AM and proceeded to the end of CSRX trackage at Hazen's in Whitefield. This day, however, the New Hampshire Central did not have an engine available to deliver the cars to the interchange. Instead, a New Hampshire Central boarded the locomotive and led it over the New Hampshire Central line to where the cars had been stored in Whitefield for 27 years. After some switching 1751 returned toward Conway, past the famous ball signal with the two freight cars in tow. I pretty much stumbled into this one and was glad I did! Enjoy
