A division of Great Rail Journeys, UK's leading operator of holidays by rail
First taking passengers to the summit in 1869, the Mount Washington Cog Railway is the oldest mountain railway in the world. The journey to the top of the 6288-feet Mount Washington still runs with its vintage steam engines and replica coaches, though on occasion the three mile trip is made with a bio-diesel locomotive. There is a gift shop, a restaurant and a fascinating museum all on site.
