Profile & Franconia Notch Railroad


The Profile & Franconia Notch Railroad operated from 1879-1921. It serviced only the Profile House in Franconia Notch; a spur line also serviced Bethlehem Village. Originally built as a narrow-gauge line, this roughly ten-mile long railroad began along the Boston, Concord & Montreal Railroad (Boston & Maine Railroad), at Pierce’s Bridge, and traveled south to the Profile House. The first three miles of the railroad followed the right-of-way of the Gale River logging Railroad (1874-1878).
