5/2024 - After returning to the base station I smelled coal smoke. Cog Railway #9 was being tested before the start of the regular season. #9 is a 1908 ALCO Manchester product.
Coffee and bicycles - what a lovely combination!
Unfortunately, their coffee machine wasn't working when I went inside so I didn't get a chance at a latte. Sigh.

These cogs were in a yard, ready to be either sold off, or broken down into smaller bits, re-melted down and re-cycled. They come from the ships that are broken down in the ship breaking yards of Chittagong
Not what I had planned for the end of the 'mono month', but it's just too hot for anything fancy, so I turned to my new watch parts again...
Our efforts to climb to the top of Mt. Washington was thwarted by the incremental weather. We thought we could atleast take the Cog Railway up but it turned out to be only for the insane (it was irrationally expensive!). This was taken at the Cog Railway Station.

Riding on the Cog Railway to the top of Mt Washington. This is the switching station where the two Cogs pass each other, while one goes up and the other comes down.

Clicked at COG Railway BaseStation, NH. The Mount Washington Cog Railway is the world's first mountain-climbing cog railway. It is the second steepest rack railway in the world[2] with an average grade of over 25% and a maximum grade of 37.41%. The railway is approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) long and ascends Mt. Washington's western slope beginning at an elevation of approximately 2,700 feet (820 m) above sea level and ending just short of the mountain's summit peak of 6,288 feet (1,917 m). Its believed that on a clear day we can have visibility upto 4 states from the summit. I don't know about 4 states but i could see a long way :)

These cogs suffer so much during the cycling season. Water ,sand, oil, gear shift. Its hard to believe that i changed the cassette last year.
I can wait to get on my bike. Winter is soooo long !
