North Conway-Conway-Bartlett

ON THE VALLEY TRAIN, you'll enjoy the scenery of the Mt. Washington Valley countryside and surrounding White Mountains as you travel roundtrip from the historic North Conway train station to either Conway or Bartlett, NH.

The Gertrude Emma Pullman Parlor & Observation Car: Spacious first class seating aboard the beautifully restored Pullman Parlor-Observation Car “Gertrude Emma,” is offered on all Valley Train departures. Built in 1898 for use on the “Pennsylvania Limited,” the “Gertrude Emma” has been restored to its original splendor with individual wicker chairs, large double-wide windows, rich mahogany woodwork, its own snack bar, and open observation platform.

Two Excursions

Valley Trains depart daily at 10:30 (Conway), 11:30 (Bartlett), 1:30 (Conway), 2:30 (Bartlett), and 4:30 (Conway). Lunch is available daily on our First Class dining car, Chocorua. There's also a 6:00 departure (Bartlett) on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays with dining car service.

The 11-mile, 55-minute roundtrip Conway excursion is ideal for visitors wanting to experience the enjoyment of a "shorter" train ride. On this excursion, the "Valley Train" travels south past some of the area's farmlands, crossing Moat Brook and the Saco and Swift Rivers enroute to Conway, where you can watch the powerful locomotive "run-around" the train in preparation for the return trip.

The 21 mile, 1 3/4 hour roundtrip Bartlett excursion offers a longer and more relaxing train ride. You're invited to sit back and enjoy the passing scenery and surrounding mountains, as the "Valley Train" travels northwest through fields and woodlands, crossing the East Branch of the Saco River, and the Ellis and Saco rivers enroute to Bartlett. Upon arrival in Bartlett, you will also have the opportunity to watch the locomotive "run around" for the return trip to North Conway.
