Enjoy a ride aboard the annual 470 Club Excursion. This once a year trip departs our North Conway station at 9am for an extended run over Crawford Notch! This is a special train that makes several stops along the way to enable passengers to disembark and take line-side photos of vintage locomotives and equipment as they roll by at speed. This very special event will run approximately 5-8 hours and returns to the North Conway station in the evening.

The 470 Club Excursion is a favorite of railway enthusiasts that features a special locomotive consist. Like our Mountaineer, this journeys over the former Maine Central Railroad Mountain Division, a railroad line laid out in the 1870s before age of electricity, telephones or the the automobile. You will travel through Crawford Notch, which offers spectacular natural scenery with views of steep cliff, deep ravines, cascading brooks and streams, panoramic mountain vistas and takes you across both the curved Frankenstein Trestle and the towering Willey Brook Bridge.

As you travel through this rugged terrain, you can begin to appreciate what a remarkable engineering of a railroad built 150 years ago. Live commentary onboard includes history and folklore of the railroad and area, as well as points of interest.
