Snowflake Excursion, NH
Car Limit: 40
Excursion fee: $520
NEREX is proud to offer our “20th Anniversary Snowflake Excursion”. Where did 20 years go?? This “End of Season” last hurrah is a wonderful overnight excursion between Concord and Lincoln, NH. This excursion is hosted by two railroads in New Hampshire, the Granite State Railway and the New England Southern Railroad. Total round trip mileage for the weekend is about 140 miles. Our trip takes us along the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee and its’ tributary rivers, over what has been billed as New England’s smallest drawbridge, (which we need to operate as it is normally open this time of year), through mountains, fields, and golf courses. There are several other bridges and trestles to cross as well. We tie up in Lincoln on one leg of the Lincoln Wye, which is about 200 yards from a very well-kept, four-story Holiday Express Inn. We have established a block of rooms for our participants for Saturday evening; one room is included with each registration. Additional rooms are available, at a discounted fee, for those requiring more than one. They offer a nice, included, continental breakfast on Sunday morning. As with past excursions, NEREX will be hosting a dinner on Saturday evening, right at the Express Inn, catered by Hart’s Turkey Farm, a very popular regional restaurant. Hart’s will be serving their “All American Buffet”, a terrific turkey, ham and roast beef spread with all the fixins’, and plenty of leftovers for sandwiches for Sunday. NEREX will provide everything needed for sandwiches. All part of this weekend package.
Seton and setoff location next to Interstate 93 in Concord, NH, is easy and convenient, and we typically get back to setoff around 2PM Sunday. Everyone is usually on their way home by 3PM. Scheduled dates are Saturday & Sunday, November 8th & 9th. We are planning early seton on Friday evening, the7th, with overnight security for the railcars. There will be a 40 car limit for this excursion.
We call it the Snowflake because any time after mid-October it could snow in northern New England. We will be watching the long-range weather forecast starting 10 days out. These two railroads are mostly seasonal, which means, if it snows, the tracks won’t be passable. As is NEREX policy, in the event of cancellation, full refunds will be issued to all paid participants. Dress warmly, as the brass monkeys will surely be covering up in Lincoln, NH on Sunday morning!!
For those of you needing lodging Friday evening, we have set up a block of rooms at the Comfort Inn located at 71 Hall Street in Concord, NH 603-226-4100. Mention that you are with the NEREX group to get the discount rate of $140.00, including tax.
