The Conway Senic Railroad currently operates the northern most section of the Boston and Maine Conway branch from North Conway where they have a beautiful victorian station and an engine house with a turntable to Conway.

North Conway

 Trains:

According to Mark Kingsbury:

In 1977,
D0-2 would start it's day in the Dover yard making up its train of cars there.
This train was usually powered by a blue B&M GP-9 although frequently a SW-1 or a GP-7 (sometimes even in a maroon paint scheme) was used.
After the train was made up it headed east to Rollinsford to MP 241 where the Conway Branch began.

Industries:

Rochester:

• Fisher Fuel - A couple of coal hoppers per month and perhaps occasionally a PC 100 ton hopper.  Most cars were Conrail or predessors and DH cars.  Now closed.
• Hollis Lumber - Received boxcars of lumberr and 40 foot boxcars of bagged concrete.  Closed between 1975 and '76.
• Weinstein Scrap - received a couple of gondolas of scrap per week mostly in PC gondolas.  At the end of the track there, there was an old B&M milk car #1928 that was used to store maintenance material.  It was finally cut up in 1995.  Today the company is named Max Cohen.  Rail service was discontinued in the early 1980's.
• Blue Seal - Received a 40 foot B&M or CP boxcar loaded with feed about 2 times per week.  It received the last car in the early 1980's.
• Team Track - served customers like pallmer Hardware and Harvey's Bakery.
• Guy's Auto - Recieved 40 foot tank cars.
• Gerrity Lumber
• Davidson Rubber - Davison Rubber has moved its main facilities to Dover NH, there is
• very little going on at the Rochester plant.

• Lydall - Brock's and Lydall are both located in East Rochester, they are kind of isolated from the rest of town.

• Ossippie Aggravates - Served by D0-1 -  Ossipee Agragates is located just off of Rt. 16 near the Wakefield- Ossipee Line. This company is now served by the New Hampshire Northcoast Railroad, which basically has ossipee Agragates as its sole source of revenue. The have some pretty impressive unit trains of black hoppers and Green, Gold and Black GP-9s.

Here are some other's but I don't know where they are:
