- My first video of 2021.
On January 2, 2021 the Conway Scenic held their first annual winter steam event. This special excursion was pulled by Conway Scenic Railroad's very own 0-6-0 Canadian National steam locomotive number 7470. The excursion was pulled entirely by steam and went from North Conway to Sawyer's River.
For those of you unfamiliar with the line, Sawyer's River was once a flag stop on the Maine Central's Mountain Division at mileage P74.80. It is about a half mile north of the fourth iron bridge in Hearts Location, NH. To this day a speeder shed still exist painted in Maine Central green and gray.
Passengers on board the excursion riding in CP Reed or Mount Webster cars were able to get off at 4 designated photo stops. These stops were (in order) at Sawyer's River, Cobb Farm Road, "North Pole", and at P61 near Mountain Junction.
In this video you will see 7470 pull 5 cars up to Sawyer's River by itself. 7470 will lead tender first to Sawyer's River and then boiler first back down to North Conway. You will also see two diesels pull a tank car at I1 towards the end of the video. This was because 573 and 1751 would plow the line before 7470 departed North Conway. The reason behind the tank car was so that 7470 could refill its water tank before heading back down south.
Shoutout to those who trudged through the snow storm that morning to chase this event. Big shoutout to Northeast Rails, Merrimack & Saco Productions, Granite State Railfan, MD88Pilot, Smokebox Productions, Railfan Nate and Caleb Browne. Thanks for a great chase guys!

My three favorite switcher steam locomotives currently are 7470, Central of New Jersey 113, and Baldwin 26. I'm excited for both of the Virginia Blue Ridge switchers to be back in operation ( Numbers 9 (4023) and 5 (4039)), and Western Pacific 165.
There's just something about steam in snow! It is beautiful and haunting at the same time! Thanks!
It’s an amazing sight for sure! Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching!
Exactly
OMG, what a spectacular video production. White snow falling. The yellow head end light. B&W exhaust smoke. Those splendid bridge shots, you can even hear the waters. And to top it all off, we even got to see a tender reverse light operating. 'Had to subscribe, five stars ! - David

Wow, this is a spectacular video! Very well done!! Wish I could have been there, but at least I got to watch this!

Very nice video. The snow was awesome. Thanks for sharing.
We visited the railroad in the fall of 2018 from UK. 7470 was out of action then so it's really good to see it in steam now. Thanks for showing us!
You’re welcome! Thank you for watching!
Steam and snow,go together like chocolate and peanut butter.
For sure! Thanks for watching!
I was on this when I was younger. Best time I can remember as a child when I saw my first steam locomotive 🚂
Absolutely wonderful!!! Takes me back to my childhood in Illinois, in the last years of steam, taking the trains to see relatives in Northern Illinois, 1946-51!
Thats awesome! Thanks for watching!

Thank you Nate! Always a pleasure being able to chase with you guys! It was a blast.
Nice video...
I was supposed to be on that train but the weather kept us home that morning and I think it was a good thing we did..
A friend of mine went and reported that the cars were as cold as the outside!!
Not a n enjoyable ride...
Better from the outside for sure!!
Amazing video!
Thanks!
Superb video, props to the camera man those were great shots
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
We went up the Cog Railway back when they only used steam. Now that they've made the switch to diesels, we stopped going. They do still run steam, but it's more expensive.

Number 7470 was a good 0-6-0 and have you heard of Hudson J3a 5406.
and What a winter special .
Didnt they reopen some of the mountain division for frieght use ?
I know Pan Am has a few miles of trackage out of Portland on the Mountain Division still used to freight. Nothing used in NH or VT except for the very rare transload run to Hazens with the NHCR. Thanks for watching.
Are they still running her this year yet
What gauge is it?
Ah yes. Intervale... RIP Ben's camera
