Your railroad adventure begins Saturday morning with a ride on one of two spectacular trips: The Notch Train or the Cog Railway.
Saturday evening brings a 6 PM departure from North Conway, NH and "Dinner in the Diner" aboard the Conway Scenic Railroad's Valley Train. Relive the golden days of railroad dining as you travel aboard the elegant dining car Chocorua. Your meal will be prepared on-board, and served to you with warm, friendly Yankee hospitality.

Sunday morning at 11 AM your rail odyssey continues on the Maine Coast Navigation and Railroad. Departing from Wiscasset, Maine, you make an approximately 2 hour round-trip along the beautiful and scenic Maine seashore and coastal areas behind vintage equipment.
Sunday afternoon visit the Seashore Trolley Museum in Kennebunkport, Maine. The Seashore Trolley Museum was founded in 1939, to save Biddeford and Saco Railroad open trolley #31 from destruction. Sixty years, and over 250 transit vehicles later, it has grown into the oldest and largest electric railway museum in the world. Experience the power of the electric motors, as your restored, antique trolley, pulls away from the Visitor's Center platform, for a trip to Talbott Park. Along the way you will travel through the Maine countryside over part of the old Atlantic Shore interurban trolley line that once connected Kittery, Kennebunkport, and Biddeford.
