CONWAY — Rail fans and snow lovers got their wish last weekend during the Conway Scenic Railroad’s “Winter Steam” event, which featured the rollout of the steam-powered, 1921 vintage No. 7040 Dwight A. Smith for an excursion that ran from North Conway through Bartlett to Sawyer’s River and back Saturday morning.
“Everything went perfectly – on schedule with no problems. And the snow that fell overnight Friday into Saturday created some great conditions,” said CSRR Events and Marketing Director Brian Solomon.
