See Mount Washington in Winter Aboard The Cog

AskLisa — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 19:47:00 GMT

The snow that began falling over New Hampshire's Presidential Range two months ago has left behind a dramatic winter wonderland on Mount Washington, which can be best viewed by taking a ride aboard The Cog Railway.

Leaving twice daily, at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. each Saturday and Sunday, the scenic one-hour roundtrip excursion aboard a heated passenger car takes visitors to the 4,100-foot mark up the snowy slopes of the Northeast's highest mountain peak.

Kroflite Camp, located about halfway up the 6,288-foot Mount Washington, is the destination, where passengers can briefly depart the train to take in the panoramic view of historic Bretton Woods and the Presidential Range stretching beyond it.

All trains depart the Marshfield Station, located six miles off U.S. Route 302 in Bretton Woods. Tickets are $31 for adults and $26 for children ages 4 to 12 and can be purchased online at www.thecog.com

The Mount Washington Cog Railway is a National Historic Engineering Landmark Its first locomotive, Old Peppersass, reached the summit of Mount Washington on July 3, 1869, making it the world's first mountain climbing railroad using a toothed cogwheel to engage the rack between the rails.

Old Peppersass is on display at the Marshfield Station and the Cog Railway Museum, which is full of memorabilia and the rich history of this pioneering railroad, is open. Admission is free to the museum.

For more information and reservations, contact The Cog at 1-800-922-8825 or in New Hampshire at 603-278-5404.
