Today
The Conway Scenic Railroad, a heritage railroad, operates summer and fall excursion trains on the portion of the Mountain Division between North Conway through Crawford Notch to Fabyan.
The portion of the line from Westbrook, Maine to the Maine–New Hampshire border is owned by the Maine Department of Transportation and is currently inactive, although MDOT has long-term plans to reactivate the line for freight and commuter rail service.
Maine Central's parent company, Pan Am Railways, retains ownership of the section of the line from Milepost 0 to Westbrook, which it operates as the "Mountain Branch."

Famous quotes containing the word today:
“The East is the hearthside of America. Like any home, therefore, it has the defects of its virtues. Because it is a long-lived-in house, it bursts its seams, is inconvenient, needs constant refurbishing. And some of the family resources have been spent. To attain the privacy that grown-up people find so desirable, Easterners live a harder life than people elsewhere. Today it is we and not the frontiersman who must be rugged to survive.”
—Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)
“In communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticize after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, shepherd or critic.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“I myself smoke, but my wife asked me to speak today on the harmfulness of tobacco, so what can I do? If it’s tobacco, then let it be tobacco.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
