CONWAY — Conway Scenic Railroad Marketing and Events coordinator Brian Solomon said a fire broke out in the cab of steam locomotive 7040 early Sunday. Luckily, the fire damaged a spring in the whistle valve and the shrieking whistle alerted a mechanic on premises who called 911.
North Conway Fire Chief Pat Preece said the fire was reported at about 5:34 a.m. There were no injuries. Preece confirmed the fire was caused by a malfunction of the two-way radio.
