Ready for the Ascent

This is a view of the Cog Railroad, beginning its colorful, autumn ascent

to the Summit of MT. Washington (Elevation 6,288ft, 2nd highest

elevation in North America along the Atlantic Ocean). The Cog RR,

started operations in 1869 and continues to this day. The locomotives

are steam powered and operate on a special track, allowing the steep

climb up and down the mountain.
