The Mount Washington Cog Railway.
A transfer table, also called a traverser (especially in the U.K.), is a piece of railroad equipment. It is similar in function to a turntable, though it cannot be used to turn equipment around. The table consists of a single length of track which can be moved from side to side, in a direction perpendicular to the track. There are often multiple tracks on one side of the table and a single track on the other.

A wonderful place to spend the day. No need to travel up the mountain - just watch the trains, the people and the mountain.

Andy and Erik cross a beautiful grassy alpine meadow just North of Shoshoni, Navaho peak is in the back ground (with Dicker's Peck in the saddle). Apache peak at the other end of the Kasparov traverse is just out of the picture on the right
once i saw how easily Paul traversed, I had to do it as well!
Usually it's against my religion to walk on wet trees (extremely slippery), but we used the rock in the middle of the stream and carefully made our way (uphill) on the long trunk.
Earlier that morning, we had walked up MUCH higher up this creek to cross it towards the ridge.
