Scenic Railroad

The brightly colored yellow railroad station can’t be missed in North Conway. Aside from the fact that it sets right in the middle of town, it’s cheerful color can be viewed from a quarter of a mile down Route 16.

There are several different rides that you can choose from, but I recommend the 5-hour ride because you really get more for your money and are able to view some fantastic scenery along the way.

The Valley Train goes along the 11-mile, 55-minute roundtrip trip from Conway around the Moat Brook and the Saco and Swift Rivers. The 21-mile Bartlett trip takes 1 3/4 hour roundtrip.

The Notch Train takes you through Crawford Notch, an amazingly beautiful place that reminds me of the Rocky Mountains. The train ride features commentary and you’ll see lots of valleys, mountains, waterfalls, and lakes.

Prices:
Notch Train: Adult $38
Valley Train 1 3/4 hours: $18.50
Valley Train 55 minutes: $11.50

Conway Scenic Railway

The train station in North Conway is a main attraction..built in 1874, it has been rennovated to perfection.

The Conway Scenic Railway has regular scheduled trips in comfortable cars pulled by either steam or early diesel engines. There is a 1 1/2 hour exhursion which heads south to Conway; a more scenic 1 3/4 hour trip which heads north to the village of Barlett, and a 5 1/2 hour trip through dramatic Crawford Notch with stupendous views of the mountains and beautiful glacial valleys..the one I took.

Tickets range from $9 to $18, depending on the trip.
