they were bringing 105 to meredith. glad you enjoyed! they cut off 105 at the jack golf course and ran it lite to meredith

@@Mountaindivisionrailfan252 Oh alright, cool, thanks!

@@jonathanp935, your bold prediction sounds very correct. They probably are doing that.

@@yoshiunknown y'know, even though 7470 might not be under steam, the f7s are next on my list of favorite engines at the Conway Scenic.

@@jonathanp935, I do wonder if 7470 is not under steam if she can still be brought out. The locomotive should still be at least put on display and even maybe people allowed inside of the cab. There would be no risk of injury because the locomotive would not be on.

@@yoshiunknown I think the way the owner feels about the steam engine (and he is justified in feeling like this) is "what's the use in bringing it out if we can't run it on the line?" The negativity that this regime gets for the way they run the railroad is absolutely not justified, in my opinion. Yes, they get crap for buying a lot of coaches, yes they put up fences so you can't even get on the platform, all that is true. There are reasons behind all of those issues. Understandably, people are growing frustrated with the lack of transparency as it pertains to the 50th anniversary, what I can tell you is that I emailed the railroad and the marketing manager and they both have said they are still working on the details for that event. Logistically, it's not easy at all to plan events like this at a railroad, there are things you have to take into consideration.

@jonathanp935 , I personally think there are many things that are going downhill. I feel like it's sad that the first ever engine can't even run on the day the railroad was established. Growing up around these tracks, this event is very nostalgic for me. I can also tell you it's more nostalgic for the people who started the railroad. The engineers, conductors, former narrators, and people who have gone before us who started this railroad. This event to some people is just showing off rare power moves, but to me and many others, it's honoring those who started the railroad. 7470 is the first ever engine, and the fact it is not running is disappointing. Even the fact it is named after founder Dwight Smith. Now, as we come down to the last month, not knowing anything is scary. This may be a large event, but they have had years of possible planning. I feel like it is very disorganized, but after all, we will need to see.

today

@@Mountaindivisionrailfan252 did they go anywhere?

@@yoshiunknown No

@@NewEnglandRail nice!

@@capecodcentralcam5713 it should be on for the next while, hopefully for you and unhopefully for me

@@Mountaindivisionrailfan252 Whats so bad about 1751?

i agree! it was a fun trip to ride

pretty sure it was louder than it was in winnipesaukee last year even, now that they can blow it all the way here

@@Mountaindivisionrailfan252 yea she was working just like it was then. Even Collin was impressed when he saw videos of mine from that day.

@@Mountaindivisionrailfan252 it was also weird because in the first shot, it didn’t sound like bell #4 was working but in all the other shots, it worked beautifully. I’d say that it would need a bit of use to warm up but I don’t think that’s it because horns don’t work that way.

​@@coasternamegenerator5611 it needs more tuning, I'll get to it eventually

@@granitestaterailfanproductions yea I think 1590’s 25 might need a bit of fixing up too. Similar-ish issue where it sounds perfect at full blast yet the 25 doesn’t even make a peep at half blast.

Not sure what Michigan has to do with that but i am working on fixing my tripod and getting a better phone for that reason

This railroad is based in central New Hampshire

302 (the engine in the video) has not been in lincoln since 2009, and has never been caught on video here either.

Hobo railroad beginning of summer train rides, to celebrate the new owners. Caboose and determination will be on train, 302 already went back to meredith

​@Mountaindivisionrailfan252 This weekend huh, oooh. A very tempting chace

@@TROOJW851 i'll be there if all goes to plan!

@@Mountaindivisionrailfan252 oof
