Die Conway Scenic Railroad (CSRR) ist eine Eisenbahngesellschaft in New Hampshire (Vereinigte Staaten).

Nachdem auf der Strecke Ossipee–Conway 1961 der Personen- und am 31. Oktober 1972 der Güterverkehr eingestellt worden war, wurde dieser Streckenabschnitt durch die Boston and Maine Railroad stillgelegt. Die verbleibende Verbindungsstrecke bei Conway zur Maine Central Railroad wurde 1974 von der durch Dwight Smith neu gegründeten Conway Scenic Railroad übernommen und bereits am 2. August 1974 fuhr der erste Museumszug von North Conway nach Conway und zurück. In North Conway errichtete Smith in den noch bestehenden Anlagen, d. h. einem Ringlokschuppen mit Drehscheibe und dem Personenbahnhof, ein Eisenbahnmuseum. Er erwarb zunächst eine Dampflok der Canadian National Railway, 1975 die Lok 15 der Maine Central und 1981 die Lok 1055 der Portland Terminal Company sowie zahlreiche weitere.

In den 1990er Jahren dehnte die CSRR ihren Betrieb auf die Strecke der Maine Central bis Fabyan aus, nachdem auch auf dieser der reguläre Güterverkehr eingestellt worden war. Die Museumszüge durchqueren dabei die White Mountains über den bekannten Crawford Notch und befahren auch den Frankenstein Trestle, das markanteste Brückenbauwerk der Strecke. Einige Züge fahren nur bis Bartlett.

Canadian National Class O-18-a Switcher |No 7470, an 0-6-0 originally built in 1921. Built by the Grand Trunk Railway's Point St. Charles Shops. Canadian National used the letter O to designate 0-6-0s. The Grand Trunk Railway built 50 of these locomotives between 1919 and 1921 and designated them F9 Class. The GTR also had 25 more built in 1920 by the Lima Locomotive Works for use in the United States. In 1923, the Grand Trunk Railway was absorbed by the Canadian National Railways. CN classified the homebuilt locomotives O-18-a and the Lima-built F9s became GTW O-18-b class. The O-18-a locomotives were numbered 1749–1798 by the Grand Trunk, and were renumbered as 7423–7473 by the Canadian National.

North Conway Railway Station in the center of North Conway Village has been regional landmark since its completion in 1874. In the late 19th Century, the railroad was an integral part of the rise of tourism in the White Mountains, New Hampshire. The Conway Scenic Railroad is a heritage railway in North Conway, New Hampshire. The railroad operates over two historic railway routes: a line from North Conway to Conway that was formerly part of the Conway Branch of the Boston and Maine Railroad, and a line from North Conway through Crawford Notch to Fabyan that was once part of the Mountain Division of the Maine Central Railroad. The Conway line is owned by Conway Scenic and the Mountain Division is owned by the State of New Hampshire. Russ Seybold is owner and president of the Conway Scenic.
