Eastern Railroad Discussion > Conway Scenic RRDate: 12/02/22 12:10 Conway Scenic RR Author: trackplanner A few from our recent New England trip.
   Date: 12/02/22 12:42 Re: Conway Scenic RR Author: joemvcnj Can anyone make it the ancestry of the first coach ?
I'd assume it is an ex-Montreal CP/AMT commuter car from the 1950's. Date: 12/02/22 13:38 Re: Conway Scenic RR Author: trackplanner This is the only other shot I got of it, shooting into the sun. That operation is a real class act. Talked with the owners, a very humble couple. They also bought an old friend I've ridden three times at least, the Silver Splendor. Doubt it ever ran on the RGZ in '77, but that would be another time too if so.

Heidi and I miss her and talk about her every day but she's in wonderful hands. Dave and Rhonda run a class act up there and if you haven't gone to N. Conway to ride, you're missing out. Southwest flies into nearby Manchester NH and there are hotels to suit every pocketbook. You won't be disappointed.

My only complaint is that I wish they could somehow clean the exterior dome windows as photography was a real challenge up there. I highly recommend visiting this well run operation for an enjoyable trip back in time. Unfortunately, we missed the fall colors by several weeks.
