According to Conway Fire Chief Phil Remington, who spoke on the scene around noon, a low-bed tractor trailer ripped up part of the track when driving over it, so Conway Scenic Railroad and D.O.T. officials were working to fix the problem to prevent damage to other drivers. Officials on scene said the Conway police are investigating the incident. (RACHEL SHARPLES PHOTO)
