Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: Acquired in a trade from Pan Am Railways in March 2010. An ex-Boston and Maine, exx-Maine Central unit, 252 was the leading unit that pulled the last regularly scheduled freight train through Crawford Notch on September 3, 1983. In the late 1980s 252 was put into storage until 1995 when it was taken out, refurbished and assigned to the B&M. 252 was retired by Pan Am in December 2009. On June 23, 2010, 252 was delivered to the Conway Scenic at which time Conway Scenic personnel brought the engine to North Conway from Whitefield under its own power. To keep with Maine Central tradition, management has nicknamed 252 and 216 the "Yellow Birds". On July 13, 2010, Kurt Ward, a resident of Conway and a former Conway Scenic employee (2000) was killed in a railroad accident while working at the Pan Am Railways East Deerfield Yard in East Deerfield, Massachusetts. Because Kurt Ward worked extensively with this engine, on July 28, 2010 the Conway Scenic named 252 in his honor. |
