Some footage of the Flying Yankee in transit to its new home at the Conway Scenic Railroad. The Flying Yankee will soon be operational once more like it was originally built in 1935 by Budd with electrical and mechanical equipment from Electro-Motive Corporation later EMD. Good luck Flying Yankee Association on restoring a classic streamliner from the 1930s
Those tractors are becoming quite rare. The end of the cab over era was kind of like the end of the steam era, at least in the USA. Maybe one day there will be “Heritage Trucking” non profit groups.
Was a 1982 KW with a 3406 Cat, talked with the owner, really nice guy. Sat in it, had that old truck smell, brought back many memories of when I used to truck back in the day! I was the liason for the Conway Scenic Railroad to help the club in any way, great bunch of kids, guys and gals, wish them the best of luck 👍
Those were always sharp looking. Looking forward to seeing it motivate under its' own power. Thanks much!
Good Luck and best wishes on getting this cat up and running…. Looks great so far….
Wonderful old railway stock, and I also liked the trucks. You don't see so many of those cabovers. Nice custom rigs.

I hope the Yankee can make a New England tour,, that would be fun
So happy to see this. That in cab shot at the end was truly amazing. Wondering how close the Wisconsin outfit is to completing the Mark Twain Zephyr?
Fantastic 👍🏻😎
Incredible!
Glad it was able to be moved safely! Maybe someday it will be functional again
Yo that’s so cool, glad to see it’s still around! Hope they can restore that into running order!
I'm more interested in the green Kenworth cab over!

@@timslager5966 now that's just slicker than slick man! Lucky you, ol rig smell n all. Ain't nothin better than the smell of an ol semi.
I guess some structural repairs were needed before this consist could be towed on the rails?
Can the Flyer be viewed from any public easements?
Why was it moved from Lincoln?
Its being restored to operation. Its owned by a company in Nashua NH, but it will run in North Conway for the public to enjoy
