Does anyone know if Conway Scenic's steamer #7470 is operating this year? I've heard a rumor that its sidelined for FRA required work this season but I can't confirm it.

As I undertsand, she has a verbal OK from the FRA, but the paperwork has not been signed. Until there is a written sign-off from the FRA, she will not be reassembled.

Again, that's what I "hear" so add grain of salt now.

Its disassembled? I couldn't even confirm it was under repair.

Its disassembled? I couldn't even confirm it was under repair. It always makes me nervous when a steamer is taken apart, just too many lying around in pieces.

Can't get the FRA to smile if you don't take a few parts off for show and tell.

While passing through North Conway a few weeks ago
I saw that the jacketing was off the boiler.
I had been wondering if she would be ready in time to pull the "notch train" this year...

Was wondering the same thing; its mostly why I asked in the first place.
