North Conway Scenic Railroad Trip New Hampshire USA

[@davidwholly5209]

Stumbled on this video by chance. Watched the whole thing. As someone currently stuck in Florida, this makes me miss New England, where I'm from. I'd like to ride that train one day. Thank you for posting this.

[@NigelHarperPhoto]

Thanks a lot Dave! Yes, it was a great trip and so glad we stopped off at North Conway. Let's hope this Pandemic is overcome sooner than later? Cheers!

I love riding on the outside platform with the engine right in front. So awesome

[@austynshea7816]

Listening to and feeling vibration gp7 with the track noise in the back round is weirdly relaxing even though it’s loud.

[@NigelHarperPhoto]

Yes, I agree, it's the best seat in the house! Now if it had been a steam loco, the photography would have been awesome, but I'd have been covered in soot. Hahaha, cheers!

[@NigelHarperPhoto]

@@austynshea7816 Yep, nothing quite like rail travel!

[@ArchYeomans]

New Hampshire has elements of the Old West but in New England. Mountains, rivers, lakes, forests, hey, even a sandy beach.

[@NigelHarperPhoto]

Yes, indeed it has! Cheers

My dad and my stepmom are going this October and they are so so excited 😁

[@NigelHarperPhoto]

Chelsey, they're going to love it, particularly if they do the Crawford Notch route! Cheers👍

[@chelseyyoung5917]

@@NigelHarperPhoto I'll pass that on! Thanks for the info and the video ☺️

[@NigelHarperPhoto]

@@chelseyyoung5917 Thanks for your kind comments👍

[@MrJMS814]

Nothing sounds as good as a classic, roots blown, two stroke V16!

[@NigelHarperPhoto]

Haha, yes! But personally the sound of a steam loco pounding away beats that! Still, I love the Diesel's horn, so typical of US railroads. Cheers!

Don't you love trains, trams, aren't they all beautiful :) come take a ride! (at folder 2, look my way)

[@NigelHarperPhoto]

Yep, I sure do! Best form of transport! Cheers👍

Great video!

[@NigelHarperPhoto]

Thanks very much! Cheers👍

[@Mountaindivisionrailfan252]

I'm pretty sure this has become the most viewed Conway Scenic video on KZbin- and for good reason! This is an awesome review. Never rode in that coach and it is cool to see what it is like. Make sure to check out the Mountaineer! It goes up Crawford Notch and the views a great, especially in the dome car or the screen room.

[@NigelHarperPhoto]

Thanks very much! I would've loved to do the Crawford Notch route, I no it would have been an awesome ride. Sadly we didn't have time! Cheers👍

[@slr_393p]

about time they use 573 Again..

[@joshuariddensdale2126]

I've been wanting to ride on that. We were just in NH a couple weeks ago, but didn't get around to it.

[@NigelHarperPhoto]

Shame you didn't have time, maybe next time? Anyway, hope you enjoyed the video, cheers!

[@JustinAEvans]

Going back here in October. You ever been to Gordys? It's a restaurant in the white mountains. Very nice place. Also, nice video!

[@NigelHarperPhoto]

We only had a couple of days in the White Mountains, so didn't make Gordys unfortunately! Cheers!

[@JustinAEvans]

@@NigelHarperPhoto yeah im only gonna be there a couple days as well. Thanks for responding

[@NigelHarperPhoto]

@@JustinAEvans You're welcome. Cheers!

thanks for sharing

Thanks Gary!

@@NigelHarperPhotothanks nigel

[@9065de]

Looks so awesome! Can anyone go to the platform at the back like you did? Or do you need special permission?

[@NigelHarperPhoto]

Anybody can ride at the back and I think it was only a dollar or so more? But you need to be seated for Elf and safety reasons! Cheers

[@9065de]

@@NigelHarperPhoto Yes! We went today and it was only $3! It was AMAZING :) Definitely worth the extra fee. Thank you for your video, it made me realize it was even possible!

[@NigelHarperPhoto]

@@9065de Thanks! It is a great ride with and without the loco in front. Cheers!

[@phatsojr]

Lovely. Is this the 1-hour roundtrip journey? My hubby and I are planning on taking this trip next month. Thanks.

[@NigelHarperPhoto]

Thanks! Yes, this is the 1hour trip, but there's another longer and more scenic ride to Crawford Notch which is fab! However, we didn't have time when we there. Anyway, enjoy your trip. Cheers!

[@Mahaabharath]

@@NigelHarperPhoto I was disappointed by the one hour trip, it got nothing... All the positive reviews are for the longer scenic one

[@NigelHarperPhoto]

@@Mahaabharath Yes, The Crawford Notch ride is the one to do!

[@peterperkins2624]

This video has a date of Feb 11, 2020, yet it is "...in the fall". What week/month was it shot? We are planning to go approx. Nov 7, will we see these colors?

[@NigelHarperPhoto]

Hi Peter, Feb 11th, is the videos published date! We had a 12 day tour from October 5th and after a couple of days in Boston headed north to Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont etc. The fall colours were incredible, (see my other videos of NE) but I guess the colours peak at different times due to weather conditions and altitude. Hopefully, it will be great for you in November! Cheers👍

[@NigelHarperPhoto]

By the way, I have several videos on my channel of our tour around New England you may find useful and entertaining!

[@JohnTaylor-bf6ll]

I think there is a book directory of all private passenger railroads in USA, which details the length of each line plus running times / days, etc.

[@NigelHarperPhoto]

I'm sure you're right! Had I'd the time then the trip to Crawford Notch would have been a must do! Cheers👍

[@CarlosVasconcelosCanada]

Does the RDC stills running ?

[@NigelHarperPhoto]

Hi, I've no idea, as I don't live in the States. Probably best to Google that one! Cheers👍

[@theamazingparkerC]

so. my best friend crosses that railway bridge and goes to that lake. im super scared. ive already told him its dangerous. what should i do? D:

[@NigelHarperPhoto]

Hahaha, how would I know? Probably would've done the same when I was a kid! Cheers

[@strockjoc]

Is the 1hr ride worth it or do the 4hr one ?

[@NigelHarperPhoto]

If your short on time as we were, then the 1hour is worth it. But if I were there again, would definitely do the 4hour as the scenery is awesome. Cheers!
