Local Lens: Mount Washington Cog Railway

The Mount Washington Cog Railway is one of the world’s great rail adventures, and an exhilarating journey through history, technology and nature. This first-in-the-world mountain climbing cog railway has been making its dramatic three-hour round trip to the summit of the highest peak in the Northeast (6288’) since 1869. And The Cog is a year-round attraction, with daily 1-hour round trip excursions to our newly expanded Waumbek Station all winter long! Clear skies provide spectacular views to the north and west, but every day at 4000’ is memorable, with comfortable warming huts, a blazing firepit, and complimentary hot refreshments.
