New Hampshire’s own Cog Railway is the world’s first mountain-climbing cog railway (rack-and-pinion railway) that ascends straight up Mount Washington and located less an hour’s drive north up and over the amazing Kancamagus Highway.
NH Cog Railway
First in the world of its type, the Cog Railway is a longtime local gem and truly a once in a lifetime experience of being pulled up the tallest peak in New England, on the second steepest rack railway in the world, in an open-air train that seem to violate all laws of railroads and mechanical propulsion. Book early and bring extra clothing – weather at the top of Mount Washington is some of the most rapidly-changing and unpredictable in the world!
