Conway Scenic RR's "Railfans' Weekend" 2014

9/13/2014
I took a trip out to North Conway for Conway Scenic's annual Railfan's Weekend event. It was a great time with a nice variety of consists and power from diesel to steam and passenger to freight.

@ 1:56 That horn on the 1751 is VICIOUS!!

[@Crossingman18]

boy howdy all those classic engines and horns. Man I will have to remember to be around up there next year. That sounds like a lot of fun for railfans.

[@AmtrakProductions]

Neat! I like how in your videos when you have a crossing you ALWAYS have the lights in sight!

[@scottymallett8036]

WONDERFUL stuff. I could not be there this year, it was great to see the lineup of different trains. Great Job!

[@jjj11330]

Awesome video! CSR has really come a long way in the last 40 years! Remember their 1st year well and hope to go back to ride there next Summer.

[@will-i-am9575]

I rode the CSRR a few years ago..New Hampshire is gorgeous

[@onrr1726]

I remember when 1751 arrived on the Finger Lakes Railway in New York it was still painted and lettered for Buffalo & Pittsburgh #206 with in 2 years it was painted. I got a number of videos with her working in NY on the FGLK over the years.

[@Garibaldi5620]

Great Shots, Thanks for posting.

[@TheViRoCo]

Great video! I was there as well! It was a good weekend!

[@bostonandmainedigger602]

Very nice video!! I've always enjoyed Conway scenic railroad. Especially that old Boston and Maine locomotive. Big fan of the Boston and maine. I love how in your videos you show the whole train and let it pass and the crossing. I subscribed. :) keep on railfaning!

[@dcarpine28]

Thank you very much! Conway Scenic is an awesome Railroad. They have some neat equipment!!

[@willyvanglikestrainsandcou5733]

I like the railroad crossings that have the western Cullen Hayes mechanical bells! At the beginning!

[@B83024]

OMG ! ! ! ! ! now that is some sweetness there boys and girls ! ! ! ! a high hood GP35 WOW ! ! !

[@skyman2002]

Wow that mini Bell Sounds Good at 17:26! Great Video!

[@maineaviationvideos6759]

I was the one waving at your camera in 1308 in the red sweatshirt at intervale

[@dethtube1943]

Yo

[@buddyclem7328]

Great video! So unusual to see the steam engine running in reverse at 12:12 and 23:32. Nice to see them running the diesel-electric locomotives with the long hood forward like they were built for. Beautiful area. Sort of like West Virginia. I will definitely have to visit.

[@dcarpine28]

Thanks for watching, and I'm glad you enjoyed!

[@eddieknox9874]

how do they make any money to keep this running

[@chaosdemonwolf1]

Good stuff mate. Well done

[@JAILRail]

This is epic.

[@41intekhab]

love to watch.

[@TWb-bu9tl]

AWESOME!

[@pluey200]

18:30 The mini bell sounds better when the video is sped up x2!

[@freebrickproductions]

Love that 8 inch crossing at 3:56, especially with the GRS Lex-C lights on both signals! Is that a mini bell I hear at 18:18?

[@maccmusic113]

Excellent footage! How active are these lines regularly? or are they?

[@AmtrakProductions]

I wish I knew that was going on

[@allanegleston13]

nice to see the e x t r a flags

[@WaysideRailography]

Nice Derek!

[@dcarpine28]

Thanks Connor!

[@rrfan8077]

not to be weird or anything at 3:10 i was at the rest stop to take a video I think you were a crossed the road from me.

[@JAILRail]

Did anyone notice the signals go off at 2:07 ?

[@dcarpine28]

It may look like it, but camcorders actually fade out LED lights in daylight for some reason. It has happened in other videos others and I have taken.

[@JAILRail]

Doesn't it also fade out sound too?

[@dcarpine28]

No, I think the train was over powering the sound of the bells. It just does it with LED's.

[@avlisk]

Why is #1751 in NYC paint instead of CSRR?

[@Mountaindivisionrailfan252]

Didn’t get painted when it came, although it will be soon,

[@inels100]

Does 252 have an Prime 920 train horn on it? It sounds like it...

[@Mountaindivisionrailfan252]

Fouled K5

[@TrainfanProduction]

Nope it has a K5LA from 6516 it had it for many years until 2020 when it was returned to its original owner

[@eddieknox9874]

does freight run these tracks

[@dcarpine28]

No

[@DpLfilms]

I see 573 got it's P5 back!

[@coasternamegenerator5611]

What did it have before?

[@TrainfanProduction]

@@coasternamegenerator5611an M3RT1 from 6516 while the P5 was getting fixed

[@coasternamegenerator5611]

@@TrainfanProduction I think the m3rt1 was 573’s originally

[@TrainfanProduction]

@@coasternamegenerator5611 Then why does it sound nothing like the one thats one 1751?

[@coasternamegenerator5611]

@@TrainfanProduction cuz the horn was backwards on 573. It had the 1 bell facing forward. With 1751, bells 2&4 are facing forward. If you hear 1751 long hood forward, it’ll sound just the same

[@nssteampunk4865]

Idiot running through gated railroad flashers. I do like the WC Hayes mechanical bells

[@Trainlover4472]

My ears bleed listening to 573 horn
