Winter Steam on the Conway Scenic

conwayscenic.com
The year of 2021 marks a significant milestone for the flagship locomotive of the Conway Scenic Railroad with the centennial of their former Canadian National O-18a 7470. To kick off her 100th year, the 7470 powered all regular trains to Conway and Bartlett during the holiday vacation week as well as a special excursion to Sawyer’s River on January 2nd.
The 7470 was built in June 1921 by the Grand Trunk Railway at the Point St. Charles Shops in Montreal. She was acquired by Conway Scenic Railroad Founder Dwight Smith in 1968 and powered the railroad’s first revenue train in 1974. She is currently New Hampshire’s only active coal-fired standard gauge steam locomotive.
Conway Scenic Railroad is unique in that it operates over two historic routes: Their line from North Conway to Conway was part of the Boston and Maine Railroad’s Conway Branch and their line from North Conway to points west was part of Maine Central’s Mountain Division.

Can't wait to see more runs in 2021 to celebrate 7470's 100th birthday. Plus she's my favorite 0-6-0 and CN engine

[@katerinakittycat3849]

I wouldn't be surprised if the new owners give #747O a fuller schedule than normal not just this year but in the coming years. They're steam locomotive enthusiasts. and I Don't think the restoration of MEC #501 would've went ahead if it wasn't for them

[@thatoneguy611]

@@katerinakittycat3849 you mean 501 is finally being restored?!

[@DynamoProductions-trains]

We have plenty of plans to keep filming 7470 for the centennial year

[@katerinakittycat3849]

@@thatoneguy611 last I knew 501 went into the shop. It's already been cosmetically restored I think they just want to see if they can get it running under its own power

[@BenBensonStudios]

There are rumors that 501 will be restored to operation, but nothing is confirmed yet.

It's nice to see this classic steam locomotive back in action. I expect we'll be seeing a lot more of #7470 on a regular basis now that steam locomotive enthusiasts own the railroad.

It still performs nicely

Is that locomotive running on Canadian national? It’s a beautiful loco! Thanks for sharing!

[@DynamoProductions-trains]

No, its operated on the Conway Scenic Railroad.

[@jeremyasher297]

It used to be owned by the Grand trunk railroad until Canadian National bought 7470. She was later restored and started running on the Conway Scenic line. She continues to pull excursions there to this day.

[@wangjennifer2025]

The fact of people stay close to train tracks i'm so happy that everyone take pictures of train i'm afraid of people get hurt or bad

[@romelljr.atwood10]

I LOVE that steam loco when was it built?🙂

[@TheMotorick]

It says in the description 1921.

[@DynamoProductions-trains]

June 1921. This is its centennial year.

[@Mountaindivisionrailfan252]

Actually, I believe it was April 1921 (according to CSRR) but I could be wrong.

[@603rail]

Great Video! Sorry I got in your shot at 1:53 though
