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:
“Most personal correspondence of today consists of letters the first half of which are given over to an indexed statement of why the writer hasn’t written before, followed by one paragraph of small talk, with the remainder devoted to reasons why it is imperative that the letter be brought to a close.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“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)
“Only conservatives believe that subversion is still being carried on in the arts and that society is being shaken by it.... Advanced art today is no longer a cause—it contains no moral imperative. There is no virtue in clinging to principles and standards, no vice in selling or in selling out.”
—Harold Rosenberg (1906–1978)
