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:
“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)
“In the information age, you don’t teach philosophy as they did after feudalism. You perform it. If Aristotle were alive today he’d have a talk show.”
—Timothy Leary (b. 1920)
“Somewhere between a third and a quarter of all people living in America today were born between 1946 and 1965 and if you think you’re tired of hearing about us, you should try being one of us.”
