Back on track, carefully! 

Operating a mountain climbing railway requires an aggressive approach to safety, so we are already well versed in over-designing policies and mechanisms to calm jittery nerves and keep everyone safe. The Covid-19 outbreak has presented a particularly unique challenge to the tourism industry, and like so many other small businesses, we implemented important safety protocols to protect our guests, staff and train crews at the beginning of the pandemic. With the successful implementation of vaccine programs and a heightened awareness of safer health practices in general, we are pleased to announce that we are returning to normal operations.

What are your current COVID-19 mask and distancing policies?

• We returned to 100% unrestricted capacity on our coaches on Saturday, June 26, 2021. Face masks and physical distancing on our coaches and in our buildings will no longer be required.

• However– we will continue to ask our guests to follow the same common-sense health guidelines that we do: if you're not feeling well, please reschedule your visit, and if you are not fully vaccinated, please respect yourself, your fellow passengers and your train crew by wearing a mask on the coach and in any of our buildings.

• If you are uncomfortable with less-stringent social distancing and face covering policies, rainchecks will be provided for unused tickets, but no refunds will be issued.

We will continue to monitor the situation and will modify these policies as necessary.

What is the status of the Visitor Center at the summit?

• All capacity, distancing and mask restrictions at the Mount Washington State Park summit facilities have been lifted.
