This abandoned portion of line was once part of Maine Central's Mountain Division eastward to Portland, ME. From Hazens, the line headed south to an immediate connection with the North Stratford Railroad (also abandoned) at Quebec Junction (just south of Hazens), then continued south through Crawford Notch, North Conway and Center Conway, from there heading east to Portland.
At Fabyan (see pictures), the line is operated south to Conway by the Conway Scenic Railroad, which operates a tourist train through Crawford Notch.
