Cog Railway train passes another on Mt Washington. NH

I was fortunate to hike Mt. Washington three times long time ago (late 70's). The last time we hiked we came down along the side of the mountain the railway line is located. I'd rather hike it thank you. Looks a little unnerving.

Cool video, back in 1998 I took the cog.

cool i imagaine there are very expensive to build

I'm sure it was, but a cog train has been running on that site since 1869 (not that one, though), so I'm sure it has paid for itself many times over.

I took this up in 1973, it was very scary to me but not nearly as scary as two years before when my dad drove us up and back in his Cutlas, especially the part when his brakes failed 3/4 of the way down. lol. I recomend the rail. beautiful view and it is definitely worth the trip just for an hour or so on the summet.

is that worth a 16 hr road trip? I really wanna go but my friends and family dont

Well, I certainly could not make that decision for you. All I can say is that I thoroughly enjoyed it, but it was part of a larger vacation, and there are more things to see and do in the area. For example, one of my other videos shows a ride down a zipline that is relatively close to the Cog train. Perhaps your family or friends might enjoy that. Just a thought.

yea

The engine has a european sounding whistle.
