CONWAY — Starting this week, the Conway Scenic Railroad will be making more frequent use of the tracks along the old Maine Central Mountain Division corridor from Intervale through Redstone to the Saco River railroad bridge.
Adding a mile-long leg from North Conway to Intervale on the old Boston and Maine tracks, the 7 miles to the bridge make for a 16-mile trip round-trip journey.
