Mount Washington Cog Railway

Here is a train starting its journey up the Mt. Washington Cog Railway.  The cog railway is a great alternative to walking or driving up Mt. Washington.  During the ride, conductors let passengers alternate looking out the front window of the passenger car.  This provides excellent views of the surrounding mountains.

One word of caution.  No matter how hot it might be at the railway station, pack warm clothes!  We went in July and it was pretty hot at the station.  By the time the train arrived at the top of Mt. Washington, the wind was howling, it was foggy, rainy and cold!
