BACKSTORY
The story of White Mountain Railroad begins in the late 1800's with the White Mountain Logging Co., which operated until the 1940's. The rail lines had been built without blasting through the mountain to create tunnels, as it was cheaper for the money hoarding management. Two tracks were created, one was the longer but slower route, and the other was a faster more direct route to the bottom. As the years went by the operation began to decline, and the mill closed sometime in the 1940's. The management decided to leave everything where it was since most of the equipment was to outdated to be sold and it was cheaper to leave the rotting railroad tracks than to remove them. The operation sat abandoned for many years until a couple of urban explorers caught wind of the railroad and decided to have a look for themselves. What they found was a railroad that resembled the twists and drops of a rollercoaster, and a lightbulb went off. About a year later the White Mountain Switchback Railroad officially opened, allowing riders to ride along the slower and more scenic route of the railroad.

RIDE EXPERIENCE:
Once the riders sit down, they begin their scenic railroad trip down White Mountain. Unfortunately, the train is accidentally switched onto the faster route as it leaves the station. The faster route has been abandoned as it was deemed unsafe for use. The train then picks up speed and crashes through a maintenance shed. Following the shed the train plunges through the collapsed bridge over "Common Sentz Trench", named after the crew that fell through the bridge decades prior. After the bridge the train goes around a few corners and approaches another fallen bridge and manages to stop in time right in the middle of the former rail yard.
