The beauty of the mountains and the thrill of ascending the Northeast's highest peak are just as enchanting today as they were in 1869, when Sylvester Marsh opened the world's first mountain-climbing railroad on New Hampshire's Mount Washington.
Nearly 150 years later, the Mount Washington Cog Railway http://www.glynnhouse.com/area/ continues to provide a sense of adventure and history as it carries passengers up a 3-mile-long trestle and the steepest railroad tracks in North America to the 6,288-foot summit of Mount Washington. There, visitors can take in the spectacular panoramic view, spanning the mountains and valleys of New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont, north into Canada, and east to the Atlantic Ocean. Passengers may choose to ride The Cog in a car powered by a historic steam locomotive or the more modern and eco-friendly bio-diesel engines.
For a ‘sneak preview’ of the Cog RR journey, view the following video - www.youtube.com/watch?v=afBOdwb-loQ. The Inn is an easy drive from the Cog RR station.
