THE MOUNT WASHINGTON COG RAILWAY FREE

The mountain-top facility houses restrooms, a cafeteria, gift shop and the Mount Washington ObservatoryвЂ™s Museum. Along the way, lively commentary is given from the brakemen about the many points of visual interest, the history of the railway and the various climate zones passengers will travel through on their journey to the top. One canвЂ™t help experience a sense of adventure and history as the train begins the spectacular climb up a 3-mile-long track to the 6,288-foot summit of Mount Washington.

The Cog has maintained its historic roots by allowing passengers to take the three-hour round trip riding in a historic coach powered by a vintage coal-fired steam locomotive. Here visitors can learn the story of the вЂњRailway to the MoonвЂќ and its great pioneering inventor, Sylvester Marsh.
