The Plymouth & Lincoln Railroad operates a series of passenger excursions along historic Boston & Maine trackage through central New Hampshire, dating back to 1848. The 54-mile operating territory stretches from the town of Lincoln to the village of Lochmere.
This railroad has two distinct operations: the Hobo Railroad which operates on the northern end of the line in the White Mountain Region, and the Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad which operates on the southern portion in the Lakes Region. This video will explore many points along the entire length of the line. The railroad’s primary motive power consists of 1970s built EMD switchers, with an Alco S1 also used.
