New Hampshire, Mount Washington - The CogCam

Mount Washington, NH - The Mount Washington Cog Railway is the first mountain-climbing cog railway in the world. With an average grade of 25% (some sections approach nearly 38%), it’s also the second steepest! Motive power is primarily provided by a fleet of seven powerful biodiesel locomotives, each custom designed, built and maintained on site. And with a nod to its steam heritage, the railway also continues to operate a pair of coal-fired steam engines in the warmer months, both well over a century old.

Here’s what things look like right now at our boarding platforms at Marshfield Base Station, elevation 2700’. From May through October, our biodiesel trains depart for the summit hourly, on the hour. Steam trains run less frequently from June through October. Winter trips to Waumbek Station (4000’) depart 3–5 times daily.
