The Cog Railway is the first and oldest mountain climbing train in the world. Sylvester Marsh invented the Cog (used to ascend and descend the mountain) and braking system for the mountain climbing railroad. Known as 'Crazy Marsh', the NH legislature gave him a charter to build 'the railroad to the moon' in 1858. Initially he completed construction part way up the mountain in 1868. Then on July 3, 1869, 'Old Peppersass' (originally called 'Hero') became the first cog-driven train to climb 6,288 foot Mount Washington, home of the worlds worst weather. Take a ride with us on the new bio diesel train going up and an Old original steam train coming down. If this looks like fun, join us on a Photographic excursion by checking out the photo workshop schedule at www.lightchannelphotography.com. Enjoy!

I've loved these locomotives since I was young. Learning more about this railroad and the mechanics of it is fascinating. Thank you for posting.

Cette petite locomotive est magnifique Tant elle est pittoresque,mais aussi de par,sa conception qui laisse entrevoir tout le génie des ingénieurs qui l'ont mise au point Ce doit être autant u' plaisir qu'un sacerdoce que de faire fonctionner cette merveille La deuxième vidéo nous montre un très jolis wagon tout droit sorti d'une bande dessinée Quoiqu'il en soit VIVENT LES CHEMINS DE FER.

I was sad to see that its nearly all diesel now. I wouldn't go up on diesel. I'd just assume drive.

[@PeterALoch]

baritonebynight, They still have 2 steam trains that go up. For the diesel its $81 per person and for steam it is $87 per person YIKES!!!!!!!!!!

[@LightChannelPhoto]

Yes you can still go by Steam - 1000 gallons of water and 1 ton of short ton of coal per trip so the number of trips is limited. The diesel is more environmentally friendly - afdc.energy.gov/case/1763?text

[@jacquesblaque7728]

Too bad they never discovered over-fire air jets, for secondary combustion. Could have greatly reduced the amount of pollutant spewage. Not that big a deal to get bituminous coal to burn cleanly. (Won't help with sulfur or heavy metals, sadly; can't have it all.)

[@LightChannelPhoto]

Interesting... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Washington_Cog_Railway. Not too sure air jets existed back then :)

[@Octopat]

No better railroad

Highway to the Moon!
