(As always, please view in HIGH QUALITY.)

Early in the morning, steam locomotive 7470 switches passenger cars in the North Conway yard. Later, the "Mt. Division Mountaineer" passenger extra departs for a round-trip excursion to Fabyans through scenic Crawford Notch State Park on the rails of the legendary Maine Central Mountain Subdivision.

Filmed during Railfan Weekend
2008.

  • does the steam loco ever do crawford notch excursions?

  • Yes, albiet on very rare occasion... the last time was in July 07 with a club-organized excursion. Every year for Railfan Weekend the railroad says there is a "possibility of steam to the Notch on Sunday," but it hasn't happened in years.

  • @guitboxchicken built for the Grand Trunk but spent most of its life on the Canadian National. It's a class 0-18a 0-6-0 switcher built in 1921

  • i hope they could move 501 to the bartlet roundhouse when restoration is completed :D

  • What was the original railroad of the 7470? (the steam locomotive)

  • love the billowing and clankety clack of these engines. good stuff. back to the future III??? kind of?

  • I am in awe of how far the CSRR has come. I remember the first season in '74 riding in an open 'cattle car' behind the 7470 when they only ran between N. Conway and Conway. Their history is a fascinating one and it's good to know that they'll be preserving steam for ruture generations.

  • Great footage! Nicely put together! Was there in 1982 for railfan weekend! Nice to see it hasnt changed much! They used to run steam more then i think. The dome car is a new addition. I remember riding wooden cars with oil lamps and coal stoves. The white mountains are so scenic! Thanks for sharing!

  • Wow Ide love to do that! Ide pay 100 for a ticket haha

  • i know, lol

  • Once in a while.

  • Amazing isn't it?
