CONWAY — Provided the governor and Executive Council OK it, it looks like the Flying Yankee stainless-steel diesel-electric streamliner train will be returning home to the tracks of the Conway Scenic Railroad for restoration.

The Flying Yankee Association announced at its annual meeting on April 6 it has been selected by the state Department of Transportation to receive ownership of the historic train. This announcement comes after the state conducted a Request For Proposal process earlier this winter.
