Trains wait their turn on the Mt Washington cog railway
It's the start of the day's operations on the Mount Washington Cog Railway. The trains (each loco pushes a single coach) take their turn to start the climb from the railway workshops up to Marshfield station (2,700ft), where passengers board for the 3.5 mile journey to the summit of Mt Washington (6,288ft), the highest mountain in the Appalachians. The line can be seen on the right above the trees as it disappears into the clouds.
It's difficult to believe that the locos were built in the 1870s and '80s and continue to give good service. They were built at the Manchester Locomotive Works in New Hampshire.
