North Conway station

Two curving mahogany staircases lead to offices in metal-sheathed domed towers on the second level.

There is also a baggage car that was converted by the Boston & Maine into a crew bunkhouse in 1949, and it too is still used for this purpose by the heritage railroad.

Beginning in 1932, downhill skiing made North Conway an increasingly popular destination, and dedicated skier trains unloaded their passengers at the depot.

In the later years of passenger service, the Boston & Maine stopped operating traditional locomotive-and-coaches trains, and switched to Budd Rail Diesel Cars.

Just over 10 years later, on 30 October 1972, freight service was also discontinued, and the station, yard, and rail line were abandoned.

In 1974, three local businessmen and a host of volunteers restored the abandoned terminal and founded a new heritage railway called the Conway Scenic Railroad.
