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.

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.

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
The Halfway House, first used by weary hikers and burro riders on their way to the summit of Pike's Peak, nearly doubled in size after the Manitou & Pike's Peak Railway was built.

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
