Up Mt Washington on the Cog

One of the many adventures we had while here in the White Mountains of New Hampshire was taking the cog up to the top of Mount Washington.

If you don't know what a cog is... It's a train of sorts.  It's on a track but the engine pushed the car up the side of the mountain and gravity and brakes is what brings it back down.  The amount Washington Cog has two different types you can ride... The steam engine which only runs once a day and for a shorter season and the diesel/electric train.  We got to ride up on the steam engine with ash in the air and all.  We even got to stop part way up to fill with water.  


Quite fun.  Then you spend about an hour up top and come back down.

Here are some of the many pictures I took that morning.

That's what it looks like... Remeber the engine pushes the car not pulls.

Yes, I cheated but that is the tip top of Mount Washington.

A hiker on the trail as we pass.  The AT goes right by here also.

On the way up it is this steep that Michelle is standing straight up in this picture.

Beautiful views.


On our way up.

On our way down


It was a beautiful morning.  Michelle and I got to go with our friend John!  Thanks John!!

  1. The job of an interior review is to recognize a lack or prove capability. For instance, an Internal Audit organization might give an inside monetary review to ensure its inner powers over creditor liabilities stick to organization strategy. On the other hand, the organization might send off an inside natural review to investigate what ecological mean for its eco-accommodating changes had in the world last year.
