Conway Scenic Railroad offers a choice of classic railroad experiences

At Conway Scenic Railroad, the train ride is the experience and you may enjoy traveling on a variety of different railcars ranging from the Gertrude Emma, an 1898-built open-platform observation car to streamlined Vista Domes from the 1950s. Excursions now run in all seasons and offer several distinct trips with up to three classes of travel. Kids will love the Valley Train, a one-hour round trip down the old Boston & Maine Conway Branch. Or consider tickets for a four-hour adventure aboard the Mountaineer which emulates a 1950s transcontinental streamliner. This elegant train makes a trip through the Mt. Washington Valley and over Crawford Notch, NH. If you enjoyed this trip during the summer, consider taking the Winter Mountaineer (runs December until March) and relax as a frozen landscape passes by your window.

You’ll learn a little history and take some amazing pictures when you travel this cog railroad

When you hear the deep hum of a biodiesel engine or see a blast of smoke from a steam engine, you’ll know your trip up Mt. Washington aboard the historic Cog Railway is about to begin. Knowledgeable and entertaining engineers and brakemen and brakewomen will answer questions as you chug up the Northeast’s highest peak, passing through forests, by wildlife and ravines and through three climate zones until you reach the summit. Included in the thrilling ride is Jacob’s Ladder, the steepest railroad trestle in the world. A museum at the base station and a visitor center at the summit provide history about the 152-year-old railway, the first mountain-climbing cog railway in the world, as well as an interactive weather exhibit. Trains run from late April through November.

Explore picturesque White Mountain region from your seat aboard a scenic railway train

Here’s a great way to explore New Hampshire’s beautiful White Mountains region: See it by train! And not just any train: the vintage train cars of the Granite State Scenic Railway have been taking visitors on an 80-minute round trip along the banks of the Pemigewasset River for 37 years along tracks that date to the late 1800s. As the train rumbles through the woods, you can see kayakers, swimmers and fishermen enjoying the river in the spring and summer. In the autumn, the region’s well-known foliage season brings spectacular colors, and on Oct. 26, there are special trains to the New Hampshire Pumpkin Festival. Then Santa and Mrs. Claus arrive after Thanksgiving to meet and greet passengers aboard the Santa Express on weekends through mid-December.

Escape from ordinary excursions when you travel aboard this elegant dinner train

Escape from ordinary excursions and reserve a seat on board the Cafe Lafayette Dinner Train, one of the nation’s premier dinner trains. In your 1950s restored vintage rail car, perhaps the one with the dome, you’ll relax in elegant surroundings, including ornate woodworking, stained glass and brass. You’ll be served an equally elegant five-course meal, from a seasonally inspired menu, and enjoy special cocktail selections from a full bar. The train travels 20 miles through the lovely Pemigewasset River Valley. You’ll rumble through woods, over three trestle bridges, the Jack-O-Lantern Golf Course and a Christmas tree farm before returning to the train station in North Woodstock. The dinner train runs May through October and is available for private dining and special events.
