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.
