Built by Sylvester Marsh of Campton, New Hampshire, the railway takes visitors on a three-hour round trip to the top of Mount Washington, the highest peak in the Northeast. Times vary according to the season. The train does not run during the winter. Advance ticket purchase is recommended.
The Cog Railway Museum offers antique photographs depicting the construction and early years of the railway. A full size mock-up of a locomotive cab and boiler, a full size section of coach, as well as an actual locomotive frame -- complete with driving mechanism -- is on display for your inspection.
