  • The Hobo Railroad Trains all leave from the classic styled Hobo Junction Train Station on Rt 112 in Lincoln, NH. We leave the station and first pass through the "Hobo Hills Miniature Golf". After clearing Main Street we pass the home of the White Mountains Attractions Association. The building is also a visitors center with the large attached barn built in 2004. Descending a steep hill we hear the squeal of the trains brakes until we level off and make a 90 degree left turn right at the location of the Cafe Lafayette Dinner Train . Most trains stop here for a few minutes so that we can pick up our fresh sandwiches for those that ordered the "Hobo Picnic Lunch®".


    Just after the Dinner Train we pass for the first time over the East Branch of the Pemigiwasset River on a two span trestle. Look to the left and you see the lanes of Interstate Route 93 also crossing the river. A sharp right turn and then descend a small hill before we cross the Route 175 crossing. An "S" turn by a "Bed and Breakfast" and on the right you get the first close-up of the "Pemi" River. After a few minutes we climb up a short hill and through the "Ledges" which opens up for the best view of the river. This area is our best view of the Pemigewassett River and allows views of the hawks that swoop through this river area looking for prey. We sometimes view happy rafters, canoeists and tubers on their ride down the river.

    Then we prepare for the next crossing of the "Pemi" via the "Swimming Hole Bridge". Youngsters swing out on a rope attached to the top of the bridge, and drop into the river for a quick thrill. We then reach the Woodstock Crossings where the Woodstock Station was once situated. Descending the last few miles we can see the ramps from Exit 30 of Interstate Rt 93.


    One long blast and we enter the very active Jack O' Lantern Golf Resort. A quarter of a mile through the golf course we stop within site of a replica of a covered bridge used by golf carts to traverse the small stream. You can stretch your legs while we are not moving and enjoy the view. There is no station here so we must stay on the train. After a brief stop here the Conductor now postions himself on the rear platform of the last car so that he can guide the train back to Hobo Jct Station. He must ring the bell and sound the horn for railroad crossings. The round trip should take one hour and twenty minutes.

    This is a good time to enjoy one of our many food or beverage options. Food items available are the complete Hobo Picnic Lunch® or sandwich only, soft drinks, spring water, chips and cookies, Also Sundaes and other Ice Cream items. Upon your return you are invited to tour the Hobo Gift Shop
