Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Sometimes referred to simply as "The Cog", The Mount Washington Cog Railway was the first railway of its kind in the world. It's an incredible example of 19th-century innovation, and although a few changes have been made since it was completed in 1866, it still transports visitors up and down Mount Washington just as it's been doing for more than 150 years. The scenic ride takes approximately one hour each way, and once at the top, visitors will be given an additional hour to explore the Visitor Center, mail a postcard from the post office, and admire the spectacular views.
