Apparently, Conway Scenic moved 2 large transformers south from Fayban to North Conway for unloading on June 20.

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!

The producers probably couldn't locate a vacant factory in China to shoot in...

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.
