The Conway Scenic Railroad has been in operation for
41 years. It operates on remnants of the Boston &
Maine and Maine Central Railroads in the White
Mountains region of New Hampshire.
The railroad owns two steam engines (currently under
restoration) and a variety of first and second generation
EMD diesel locomotives. The diner “Chocorua” was built
by Pullman in 1929 for the Lackwanna as an m.u. coach.
It was restored and converted to a full-service dining car
in 1992.
