Review & FAQ:

The first mountain climbing cog railway train in the world, the Mount Washington Cog Railway, offers scenic train rides to the top of Mount Washington. Visitors will travel from the station situated in the heart of the majestic White Mountains to the Northeast’s highest peak. This funky train excursion is ideal for children who like a little adventure. The train climbs North America’s steepest railroad tracks to the tip of the nearly 6,300-foot tall mountain. At the top they will be rewarded with exceptional views of New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, some of Canada to the north, and the Atlantic Ocean to the east.
