This is the Mt Washington Cog railroad in New Hampshire, it used to be all steam engines but, now it also uses Bio Diesel engines to reach the summit (6288 feet).The steam engine uses 1ton of coal & 700 gallons of water & the Bio Diesel uses only 12 gallons of fuel to reach the summit.

The inside of our passenger car. They are very well maintained in an original look. Ignore the grumpy looking in laws in the picture LOL.

Another train following us up the pass.

One of the old trestle bridges they replaced and don't use anymore. I had a couple in laws worried when I told them that is the bridge we take on the way down LOL.

Think this shot was from Colton, California which at the time was one of the busiest freight yards in the US.

This is pretty cool. I would’ve never guessed this is how they do it. Can you imagine how much energy is up against those side stakes on the rail cars !
