The Flying Yankee, Unit 6000, was taken off the Boston-Portland route during World War II because of its limited capacity. Boston and Portland were big Navy ports and the passenger ridership increased dramatically.

Returning to N. Conway, we were given a tour of the engine house and permitted to visit 7470's cab. This trip was before it went down for the rebuild which might help to date it..
