Ron Johnson, who was hired by the Conway Scenic
Railroad in 1974 to be the official painter and letterer of buildings and
equipment on the property in North Conway, will present a program of digital
slides and sound movies of early operations plus Railfan's Days and
steam doubleheaders covering the 10 years he worked for the railroad. He
lived in his ex-GT caboose (with a piano to play railroad tunes). He
painted the station twice single-handedly. He has many insights to share
about Dwight Smith's vision and how the weedy yard and decrepit
infrastructure was transformed into the vibrant tourist railroad it is
today. He also would appreciate other contributions to this program from
the mid-1980's on to the present. He can be contacted at collron2@gmail.com
