Mount Washington is famous for its extreme weather and the cog railway. In the year 1999 when this video was recorded the railway was still 100% steam-powered.
Der Mount Washington ist bekannt für sein extremes Wetter und die Zahnradbahn. Als dieses Video im Jahr 1999 aufgenommen wurde, war die Bahn noch zu 100 Prozent mit Dampfloks betrieben. Das Video ergänzt den Bericht zum Nordosten der USA in der Zeitschrift Fernexpress Heft 4/2015.

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!

@raywest3834 3 года назад

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 3 года назад

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

@gregwarner3753 3 года назад

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.

For how long a period of months has this line been knocked out of line’ It seems very precarious

@Howrider65 5 лет назад

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

Go to Jenbach in the Austrian Tyrol. The Achenseebahn is still 100% veteran steam rack locomotive operated. Also a very scenic ride plus you can usually see the scenery.

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.

@MatTheSoundless Год назад

Really hope to visit this railroad one day, such a unique looking engine! ^^ Also love how colorful the coaches are, nice variety!

@PeterALoch Год назад

there is only 2 trains that this one that make the trip. One at 830 in morning and 3 in afternoon. Be prepared to cash out a lot of money...round trip PER adult is $90.00

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 3 года назад

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.

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.

My late grandfather took me there in the early 2000s when one of our summer trips to New Hampshire. We also visited the Conway Scenic Railroad.

@ThomasAffoltertevis 5 лет назад

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.

@JohnLeslie68 3 года назад

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.

I like mountain railways or cog railways if you want to say it like that but I’d prefer the snowdon mountain railway because of the engines are so unique because the cylinders are back to front and surprisingly the culdee fell mountain railway in the Railway Series is based on the snowdon mountain railway

@dwightlyon3643 4 года назад

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!

This ride is so amazing but scary. Can be lovely day at bottom and raining at top. We had good trip up. Walked around for about 10 minutes and out of no where ... the rains came down, and I mean came down! Everyone soaked and cold as breeze were more like take force winds! 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!
