Directions to Marshfield Base Station

IMPORTANT INFORMATION for users of GPS devices, Google Maps, Mapquest and other Internet map services.

The Mount Washington Cog Railway is in a remote mountainous area that is poorly mapped by GPS services. Access to Marshfield Base Station is from Route 302 near the Omni Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods and is prominently marked by one of our retired steam locomotives. Please follow the directions below to ensure you are not directed to the wrong side of the mountain; otherwise, you will miss your train!

Please Note: Plan to arrive 45 MINUTES before departure time to allow plenty of time for ticketing and restroom visits. All trains board 15 minutes prior to departure time.
