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.
Track and switch near the lower end of the Manitou and Pike's Peak Cog Railway.
The drive cogs on the railway cars engage the toothed track that is centered between two standard rails.

Manitou and Pike's Peak Cog Railway (Wikipedia):
The mechanics of the cog railway allow it to continuously climb steep gradients up the mountain. The train uses a unique cog wheel that meshes with the tracks. The engine pushed the train car from behind. This photograph, taken at Sun of a Gun Hill, shows the 25% gradient that the train was capable of climbing.c. 1891. J.G.

The cog railway route ran through the neighborhood of Minnehaha. Here, Minnehaha Falls can be seen to the left of the train. J.G. Hiestand. c. 1910. credit: Manitou Springs Historical Society at Miramont Castle Museum, Manitou Springs, CO

explaination of my personal cogs of style, here:
When Zalmon Simmons, founder of the Simmons Beautyrest Mattress Company, climbed to the summit of Pike's Peak on a burro, he was struck by the beautiful views, as shown in this postcard. He also realized that there must be a more civilized way to reach the top. In 1889, construction of his envisioned cog railway began. credit: Manitou Springs Historical Society at Miramont Castle Museum, Manitou Springs, CO
This keepsake photograph, distributed by The Manitou & Pike's Peak Cog Railway,shows the cog railway and the Summit House from below. Although the cog railway of New Hampshire was the first to be built, in 1869, Colorado's cog can still boast to be the highest of its kind in the world. 1917.credit: Manitou Springs Historical Society at Miramont Castle Museum, Manitou Springs, CO
The trusty burros were part of the construction team laying track for the cog railway. One such burro is shown here carrying equipment on his back and standing over the cog tracks. The back of this stereocard proclaims in 6 languages " I helped to build Pike's Peak Railroad myself," " J'ai aide moi meme constuir le chemin de fer de le 'Pike," (french) "Yo ayude en persona a construir el ferror-carril de la cima de Pike," (spanish), 1894.

COGIC Centennial Logo 100 years.
I am a member of the COGIC, and for the record... we are not celebrating our 100th anniversary, but our 100th National Convocation which is held every November in Memphis, TN. Our church is 110 years old.
This isn't my work! This was taken off the Church of God in Christ website. Again, this is not my work, but I wanted to show this to you.
Peace, Love, and Happiness...
