The railroad is the host for three exciting days with numerous activities but the best one is the ride from Lincoln to Weirs Beach on the Saturday. Then next on Sunday from Tilton, NH to Weirs Beach and return. All together the happy railcar owners are treated to 108 miles of running their own personal trackcar. Trackcars are inspected before the first trip, a safety meeting is attended, the proper rules are given out each year and participants turn in their operating agreements so that they can operate safely on this State of New Hampshire owned track that starts in the White Mountains and ends 12 miles short of the State Capital at Concord, NH.
