Description
Completed in 1869, the Mount Washington Cog Railway carries passengers up a three-mile-long trestle and the steepest railroad tracks in North America to the 6,288-foot summit of New Hampshire's Mount Washington. Passengers may choose to ride in a car powered by a historic steam locomotive (shown in this image), or by a more modern biodiesel engine.

This is a wonderful scene! We have been on the Cog Railway on Pikes Peak but I didn't realize there was one on Mount Washington. The coloring makes this a lovely vintage styled image. l/f

Amazing image Wes. The tones make this look vintage. It's a beautiful place up there, this one should be on sale in the gift shop.
