Sponsored by: [Mount Washington Cog Railway]( [Mt Washington Cog Railway]© Mount Washington Cog Railway For more than 150 years, the Mount Washington Cog Railway has been thrilling passengers from all over the world with its dramatic ascent to the summit of the highest peak in the Northeast. Located in the heart of the majestic White Mountains region of northern New Hampshire, Marshfield Base Station is just 6 miles east of the Omni Mount Washington Hotel, one of the last iconic late nineteenth / early twentieth-century Grand Hotels remaining in the State. The Cog is the first mountain-climbing cog railway in the world, and one of only 2 currently operating in North America. With an average grade of 25% (some sections approach nearly 38%), it’s also the second steepest in the world! Motive power is provided by a fleet of 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 century-old, coal-fired steam engines in warm weather. [Mt Washington Cog Railway]© Mount Washington Cog Railway By late October, the Mount Washington State Park facilities at the summit close for the winter, and the top of the mountain becomes inaccessible to passenger trains. Our primary destination throughout the winter months is our recently expanded Waumbek Station, located safely below tree line in an alpine meadow at roughly 4000’. From three large new elevated decks, clear conditions reward visitors with spectacular snowy views to the north and west, enhanced by comfortable warming huts, a blazing firepit, and complimentary hot refreshments.
