A journey on the North Conway Scenic Railroad lets you re-live
the legend written in the annals of railroad history, as the train
follows a railroad route first taken over 132 years ago. Services
on the North Conway Scenic Railroad began running from North Conway
in the early 1870s, but passenger trains ceased in 1961.
The North Conway Scenic Railroad re-opened as a tourist railway
in 1974, and now offers two main routes from the imposing station,
a listed building. Passengers can enjoy the Mount Washington Valley
countryside and surrounding White Mountains on journeys between
Conway and North Conway.
The North Conway Scenic Railroad offers a range of luxury
rolling stock, such as the observation coach, and a Pullman.
The train passes some of the finest natural scenery of North
America's East Coast as the train travels through spectacular
Crawford Notch - past sheer bluffs, steep ravines, cascading brooks
and panoramic mountain vistas.
The experience is particularly breathtaking during the autumn
season, as New Hampshire's scenery is covered in a stunning blanket
of dark red, yellow and brown.
The North Conway Scenic Railroad crosses the Frankenstein
Trestle & Willey Brook Bridge en route to Crawford Depot. Live
commentary during the journey helps to give an insight into the
history and folklore of the railroad and its route.
