Mount Washington Cog Railway, New Hampshire, USA

[@barebowhunter1850]

As this railway was being built, the track laying crews crafted slide boards known as “devil’s shingles”, with room enough for one man and his tools. A walk down the mountain that could take hours in the infamously horrific weather took mere minutes.The first alpine railroad, and the first alpine slide!

[@Howrider65]

It still runs. WOW. It outlasted my parents. My parents were on there honeymoon and went on this thing a zillion years ago.

Did they see US Grant there?

[@raywest3834]

That's the funkiest locomotive I've ever seen, I love it! It looks quite ancient, and it's a long slide down the mountain if a shaft key strips, although possibly there is a way to brake without the gearwheels.

[@henryostman5740]

it's been running for over 100 years, I guess it's OK.

[@gregwarner3753]

There are brakes on the car gearwheels. The car has separate brakes. It is only pushed by the engine and not connected to it. The diesels are quite impressive as well. They were built by the railroad shop mechanics. One of the reasons for diesel is it costs $300 for the coal to get to the top of the mountain and only $30 for Diesel fuel.

Most people don’t realize that Mt Washington has some of the worst weather in the US... Highest wind wind was recorded in the 1930s until it recently lost that title.. The Auto road, I went up in July once.. It was in the 90s at the bottom.. Could only go up 80% of the way as a blizzard was raging at the top..

[@cindiqq2292]

I went in July too. It is super windy up there. And it got so foggy that we could not go to the summit. It’s scary, road is so narrow, so close the the edge...scarier if can’t see.

[@NotSoCrazyNinja]

Correction, BEST weather in the world lol

[@nmgt1048]

I rode the cog railway at least twice when I went to summer camp in New Hampshire (five years, 1960,61,62,63, and 65). I enjoyed it because I liked Mountain climbing. I a;lso climbed Mt. Washington at least twice, too.

We’re very proud of our Cog Railway. They have since produced a series of diesel hydraulic locos entirely made on site using John Deere power plants. They do still run steam once a day I believe. The first train. If you’ve not visited NH to see the Cog you really need to. John. Chichester NH.

Yes, indeed! That railway might be a candidate for UN world heritage.

I have gone up the Cog Railway severL times. It it so cool that they still keep the old girls running. They even used to get them fixed at H.K. Porter plant in Boston. H.K. porter used to make Train engines all the way up to the 1950s! My dad used to work at H.K.Porter.

I grew up nearby in Vermont, so I remember riding this as a kid. Neat rail. Frankly, I think Mt. Washington is more fun to hike (climb) but the railway is a cool engineering feat. Also, for people who like this sort of stuff, the ultimate mountain cog rail that I've been on is the on that climbs the Jungfraujoch in Switzerland. That is an amazing train.

I have been to the Summit twice on the Cog, once in the train and once there was a group of us who actually walked up and down tie after tie after tie. It's quite the deal on the train, but you appreciate it even more on foot. They had closed early that year (early 60s) because it was so dry and way to much fire hazard because of the sparks that can fly out with the smoke!

Kids crying, fussing and laying on floor as train slid on rails in a few parts... I was fearful and hung on for dear life!

[@notesl5576]

Why are the trains designed like that? Why is it Face down and the coupling rods are in the front?

[@davidedwards1855]

The engine pushes the passenger car up the mountain and there is actually no physical connection at all. On the way down the mountain the car sometimes isn’t even touching the engine as the brakeman uses the car brakes to keep the car speed in check.

[@claytonhaffner384]

The boiler design is to keep the water completely over the boiler tubes. Preventing overheating, melting and then an explosion of the engine.

[@bluefoxy6478]

So it wont explode, and could go up those grades, a regular engine cant do that! Not even a advance locomotive, only engines with the ability to use the rack rail is able too. And a regular steam engine with a normal position would make the water expose some fire tubes, heating the boiler and eventually, exploding! And no one wants that! So its boiler is angled so that the water is still level. (The comment above already said it, but im going into more detail)
