Nice video man! I WAS going to be at West side road for the southbound trip, but I listened to my radio and i thought they were going to be going back to the station to resolve an issue. Going back to the station was definitely NOT the best idea for me.
I love the deep sound of the F units. What’s the reason for using three locomotives? Just for fun? Isn’t the GP9 capable of pulling that train on its own?
yes just for fun. they usually do it with the 2 F units in years past, but 1741 was just restored so they wanted to throw that into the mix. however i dont think the 1741 could handle the train itself up the steep grades of crawford notch and up Conway hill (3.3%). they also want an engine with dynamic brakes on the train and none of those 3 had any, so there were 2 protection locomotives trailing the train a few miles back.
Thanks for the reply, I’m new to tailgating and model trains but I’ve always loved the CSRR. I’m still learning about the why and what’s of rail roads and locomotives. Thanks again.
@@BillyRueckert the 0-6-0 7470 has unfortunately not ran for several years now due to a numerous amount of boiler and firebox issues. it's scheduled to be back next year, but they've said it will for countless years and that date keeps getting pushed. the 1741 project took priority, i think they will be working on 7470 now
Great catches awesome chase and nice video
Nice video!

i was definitely surprised that there weren't more people there! i saw 20 cars lined up at husseys field though so that explains something
i’m surprised they didn’t put the GP7 on the rear of the consist

What is the 470 Railroad Club?
I reckon they are a group of people that maintains old railways equipment (like locomotives and cars, as shown in the video) like museum does
So very few riders. Need more advertising.
The Conway scenic in general needs more advertising
