Apparently, Conway Scenic moved 2 large transformers south from Fayban to North Conway for unloading on June 20. http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.p ... 173&nseq=1 More Photo's posted on Railpictures.net. |

All of my son's Transformers are made in China, too. What does the one in Conway transform into, a MEC 4-6-0? Speaking of those Transformers, the new Transformers movie opens tomorrow featuring the old Bethlehem, PA steel mill which is now a casino AND the site of a major preservation effort that includes rail equipment. In the movie, the plant plays a factory in... China! Rob |

How did they get to Fabyan? What's the track like out to the rest of the world? |

They arrived by ship at Searsport, Maine, and passed my house a few nights ago, one a Montreal, Maine, and Atlantic train. She crawled up the line, but there was even a caboose in the train. From there, it must have transferred to the CPR in Brownville, Junction. |
