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.
