Day 2
After breakfast, we travel to Bellows Falls where we'll board the Green Mountain Flyer, Southern Vermont's authentic passenger train of yester-year. Traveling along the river, view the gorge, two covered bridges, active farms, and native wildlife from your seat in beautifully restored coaches pulled by vintage diesel power. Lunch is served at a local restaurant. We travel to the White Mountains of New Hampshire where we'll visit Cannon Mountain for a scenic tram ride to the 4200 summit. We spend the next two evenings in the White Mountains. This evening we travel to the Cafe Lafayette Dinner Train for an experience you will long remember. The "Granite Eagle", originally built for the Missouri-Pacific Railroad, operating from St. Louis Missouri to San Antonio Texas in the mid 1950's on the "Texas Eagle". She was then acquired by the Illinois RR and run on train #1, "The City of New Orleans". The unusual dome car was purchased in Pittsburgh Kansas in the late fall of 1995. It was brought across the United States by rail and restored in the engine house of the Hobo Railroad during the winter of 1996. Leslie, Lance and their two chefs, Doug Trulson and Scott Buckland along with a friend Tom Sabourn, made the impossible happen; taking only six months to rebuild exterior steel, design and restore the interior, install new windows, and give this magnificent car a royal blue and white paint job, then renaming her the "Granite Eagle".

Day 3
Following breakfast, we take a journey, ON THE NOTCH TRAIN, you'll enjoy some of the finest natural scenery in the East as you travel through spectacular Crawford Notch - past sheer bluffs, steep ravines, cascading brooks and streams, panoramic mountain vistas, and across the famed Frankenstein Trestle and Willey Brook Bridge - en route to Crawford Depot or Fabyan Station. One of the premier scenic train rides in the East, the Crawford Notch excursion allows you the opportunity to relive a legend written in the annals of railroad history, when the first train traveled through Crawford Notch over 128 years ago. Live commentary includes history and folklore of the railroad and area, as well as points of interest. Lunch is on your own on our journey. We enjoy some free time in North Conway before returning to our hotel. This evening enjoy dinner served at our hotel. (B,D)
