No railroad for me, but have been on top several times. Once on a Harley Davidson.

Thanks, all! I took the railway because my 1966 Mustang had overheated going up Mt. Equinox and I didn't want to take the chance on Mt. Washington. If you have back troubles, you do NOT want to take the Cog Railway! I'm sure it was a great ride on a Harley!

Thanks, everyone. I worried a little about having so many pictures, but I didn't think I could do it justice with fewer.

Great tour, David! Reminds me of the cog ski train we used to take on the Kleine Scheidigg in Switzerland.

Great set! It brings back great memories - when we went years ago we also had a beautiful day.
