Many many years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the dusts of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before\u00a0<\/em> I carried a camera!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I traveled on the Mount Washington Cog Railway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was very young and it was bitterly cold at the summit, so the charms of the railway were lost on me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last Saturday, my friends and I revisited this world famous attraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mount Washington Cog is 150 years old this year and the oldest cog railway in the world. It is built almost entirely upon a wooden pile trestle with an average gradient of 25 percent (1 in 4).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The views get more impressive as you gain in elevation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although largely operated with \u2018bio diesels\u2019, there are still some steam locomotives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made these photographs from the base station as we were getting ready to board. I largely focused on the diesels, as the steam was only being prepped and not working the mountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More soon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
