My late husband would have loved to watch this. He came to the US from then-Communist Poland and worked as a rigger for Ringling Bros., Barnum & Baily Circus (Red Show). He got to travel much of the US by train and although it was close quarters living, he was fascinated by what he saw and all the places he'd been. Thank you for this video!
@@megaglowz8540 unless your trip is the ride they aren’t a good option they’re expensive and time consuming, my wife’s sister came in by train once and with a 6hr car ride one way it would have been cheaper and faster to go pick her up and drive back
I take Amtrack every few years and I think time is running out for them. The sleeper cars are the best way to go, but it's no longer the fancy experience it once was. Even when you buy the full room in the back, it's just...ROUGH compared to what it was. Not sure if i recommend doing it or not...
You’re right about there being two steam engines left in service, those being Ammonoosuc which is #2, and Waumbek which is #9. Most of the now out of service steam trains are still in possession of the cog railway and one or two of them are still in serviceable condition.
I got to ride the Mt. Washington coal steam train way back in the day before they even had the bio diesel trains. Scary because of how steep the ride was but great experience I will always remember.
A cog rail is like what they use in theme parks for roller coasters and log flumes... Instead of the engine driving the outer wheels on the track, there is a central cog being driven by the engine and a central toothed rail. They're used on mountains and steep slopes to avoid the train rolling back down if it loses traction and prevents the wheels slipping when it's wet, icey, or covered in leaves.
A great video but according to google: The first cog railway was the Middleton Railway between Middleton and Leeds in West Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom, where the first commercially successful steam locomotive, Salamanca, ran in 1812. This used a rack and pinion system designed and patented in 1811 by John Blenkinsop.

Your videos are so great! You take us to beautiful surroundings to explore and you are seemingly knowledgable about everything! Living in a big city, a concrete jungle, I appreciate seeing your vids.
A steam locomotive is my favorite. Nothing like the sound of it's lonesome whistle. I really enjoyed this railroad video .The Mt. Washington scenery is epic.
my Grandfather used to run steam locomotives. he said it was like a living, breathing thing. the rake of the boiler makes this one look like its working really hard:) i wanted to see a geared steamer. thanks for the chance
Steam Locomotives and engines work pretty much the same, all over the world. But i have never seen a machine with its pistons in the middle like this. Im interested if the Firebox has a blower or only the natural airflow, cause when its speeding up the exhaust smoke becomes cleaner and cleaner. and only when the firedoor is open its black (bad airflow, too rich). But the Start is pretty much the same like the Machines in our museums in Germany. Preheating cylinders, draining water, whistle, bell. Good thing about the pinion gear on the track is, they dont need sand to avoid wheelspin or sliding.
A couple of weeks ago I was on the cog train for Pike's Peak in Colorado. It had been closed since 2017 for remodels. Everything is new, new cog train, new visitors center at the summit. It was very cool!
Very cool video. Now that I'm retired, I'm going to try to get up to ride this next summer. Years ago, I rode the cog railway to the top of Pikes Peak. Eminently enjoyable.
Thanks for the video, always nice to see. Used to see the Orient Express go through my home town sometimes. Fun story from my childhood... My parents decided on a family day trip to Blaenau Ffestiniog in Wales to visit the mountain railway, in the early 80s. It was an 8 hour drive each way from our home in Kent England. When we finally got there it was pouring down with rain, very foggy and not nice. It's Wales, it does that a lot. Anyway, we get on the train, get to the top and my mum looks at the timetable and the only one available back is the one we came on. So we got off the platform, back on the train, back in the car 8 hours more. Fun day out and we couldn't even see anything due to the weather!!! 🙄☔😂😂
@@kevinbyrne4538 yes that would have been way worse. We didn't have extra money for hotel, so that wasn't an option. Or just sitting at the top of an empty cold wet mountain till the first train next morning more like lol
About 10 years ago my wife and I went up the Cog in the winter, not sure if they do that anymore but it was awesome. They only brought us about halfway up because they don't plow the snow higher than that. They let us get off and walk around for a little while, pretty cool being on the side of a mountain surrounded by feet of snow.
I took my dad and my son for a steam train ride only yesterday in Cornwall, UK. We love them and are fortunate enough to have several lines in the South West that still run steam engines. Truly magical.
At the end of the month, there's the biggest steam engine built coming to Missouri. My grandson is really into trains, so his dads going to take him to see it. Which, hey, I'd like to see that too! Thanks for sharing
Went up this cog railway a while ago. It was with the steam engine. We sat in the back row closest to the engine. The brakeman warned that with the window open, the soot would come right in. By the time we got to the top, my shirt was covered in soot. Oh well. Enjoyed the ride up anyway. The wind was really blowing up at the top of the mountain. After walking around for about 20 minutes or so, by the time we were ready to leave, the wind completely cleaned my shirt. There was no soot left. Also, as an interesting note, the car and engine were not connected. On the way up, the engine pushed the passenger car. On the way down, the engine coasted. The brakeman kept the passenger car about 5 feet distance from the engine. The reason he said was that if one or the other flips off the track, it would take the other. There were some places where the track was 40 feet or so above ground level.
Nice video. We have a rack railway here in Stuttgart, Germany, too. But no ancient one and not steam powered. But my favourites are the flooding videos.
@@PowerTom286 Oh I know, we've seen the water rise in The Netherlands as well. Hopefully those floods were a wake-up call for the German government to invest more in water management wherever possible but other than that it was a very tragic event.
This is great! When I was a kid I road to Tehachapi Loop in Tehachapi California in the 1960s when they were still allowing people to ride. Since then only freight is hauled over the mountains from Bakersfield to Tehachapi on track that loops around and around and through a bunch of tunnels.
Thank you so much for taking us along. I've driven up Mt. Washington before. Scary as heck! My passengers ended up laying down in the car.. they were too scared to look out.. lol. You really get close to the edge.
Thanks for the cog rail train...back in the late 1920's,early 1930's, my dad rode the train up to the top, also, he and his cousin walked the trail all the way up, quite the journey. hopefully they keep the steam one...😎👍😎
i've got a pretty over the top audio system connected to my computer and you have a really good mic. that being said, i have a pretty good idea of how horrendous that cog sounds in person. still neat as hell!
I wasn't going to watch, as I grew up around trains, but this is really something neat. I should have trusted you that it was interesting. Great video, thanks for sharing!
So scenic! I have been to North Conway Steam Railroad in New Hampshire! Good one too! Always wanted to visit the cog railroad though! Nice filming and editing!
Ahh 50$ train ride aint terrible, but still haven't rode one yet lol 17:58 i have a bunch those orange Lily's flowers in my yard too they look amazing 👍
I've climbed up the tracks to go skiing in the Great Gulf in April. It's surprisingly easy, basically like a staircase, and you can make it the whole way in under an hour if you move fast.
This is so cool man. I had no idea that cogwheel trains were a thing until your video. As an avid railfan, I too love steam engines and would go on the steam engine ride in the morning. It's fascinating to see all of those moving parts working together to provide horsepower.
My family has a stem tracksion engine 1898 advance and my grandfather made a 3/5 scale model of it and my great grandfather made a 1/4 scale model of it also love to hear the whistle when it was blowing
any chance you would be willing to hike the mountain trail there and video it? i know you said it would take about 6 hours. i love your connection with nature and how you treat it.
@@post.10 I was thinking along the train track, but if you have done it via other trails, I will look those up. ive seen you hike the one trail recently, will look for my wash ones...thanks.
Great video! I got to see that locomotive at the top of the mountain when I was there last summer. Next time I make it out that way I will take the train up.
i've been on the rail going up Victoria Peak in Hong Kong. very steep and what a site when you get to the top. look out at Kowloon and in the distance is the Great China Wall. was the closest to being on a train to a mtn top..
I took the manitou springs cog railway up pikes peak, around an hour to the top and and hour back down. 25% grades almost the entire way. As someone that lives in Iowa I am used to flat terrain and it was very strange to be able to see that far.
Wow those cars are vividly painted. Very cool. I live a few miles away from the Strausburg RR. The train station Lincoln made a speech at is part of The train ride. It's is also 1 if the oldest active running short line RR in the USA. And they built the countries only selfpowered Thomas the tank engine.(by sacrificing a rare saddle tank switcher) They only run that and the unpowered Persy engine a few times in the summer. I want to take a trip to steam town in Scranton to see 4012. Sister to the big boy 4014. I volunteer from time to time at the PA railroad museum in ronks. Our PD's uniform patch has a steam train on it. Lol
Thank you so much for this video I think that is absolutely cool I had no idea that the tanks are gravity-fed didn't even think about them have to refill the boilers with water so what a tremendous educational video and great shots thank you so much for the education

Side note: my comment is 11 months late.

Go on a toy train
Hello from the UK. Your country is so beautiful and that train is so cool!!! The sound and the beauty of the landscape combined, so good.
You’re right about there being two steam engines left in service, those being Ammonoosuc which is #2, and Waumbek which is #9. Most of the now out of service steam trains are still in possession of the cog railway and one or two of them are still in serviceable condition.
Post is on form these past few weeks! We've had a taste of everything. What a great guy
To me that train whistle is one of the loneliest sounds and I love it.
Never a dull moment when your with Post 10. Love the diversity.
I'm ok with this type of diversity not the racist diversity popular in liberal politics
To hell with the Dos Equis guy, Post 10 is officially the most interesting man in the world.
I got to ride the Mt. Washington coal steam train way back in the day before they even had the bio diesel trains. Scary because of how steep the ride was but great experience I will always remember.
We chose to drive up it. You want to talk about scary. That road is bananas.
@@benhatcher2603 Yeah another time I drove up it myself. That road is nuts. 😵

Yes
Looks like it's got its head down pushing lol. Very cool design.
@@megaglowz8540 I thought little bulldog. :)
Indeed! The mountain slope can be very steep.
The design is the same on the rack and pinion railway that goes up Snowdon, 2nd highst mountain in the UK. also a cool, steam powered train!

Wow. Amazing to see just how much smoke/soot is pouring out of that train in just the first quarter mile or so.
Amazing that the cog railway was initially a test/experiment to see if it could be done. Still with us today.
I love the sounds of a steam train. The mournful whistle is wonderful. 💜🐨
There is a steam train in Essex CT too. Not a mountain trip like this one, but the scenery is still beautiful.
I live for steam trains! 🚂🚃🚃🚃
Hey bud, I Love what you do! Especially the garbage cleanup. Keep it up! This World needs more people like you!!!!
This video is gorgeous. I really loved the foggy hike video up here a while ago too. Makes me want to travel.
So scenic! I have been to North Conway Steam Railroad in New Hampshire! Good one too! Always wanted to visit the cog railroad though! Nice filming and editing!
Love trains! Years ago, my family went to the Horseshoe Curve in Pennsylvania. It was awesome!
The video also reminds me of my late brother who worked on the railways for many years.
Great video post 10. I actually got the chance to drive an antique steam locomotive for an hour on private tracks once. A highlight of my life!

Amazing to see steam trains still running. I love all your videos. There my go too when I need some me time. Look forward to the next one xxx
She’s a beaut Clark! Great video, thanks for sharing 👍

I thought I caught a glance of Billy The Kid..😄 Awesome video!!! I wish I was one of the passengers.
It's sad that the steam train is not somewhere I could go. Been in love with it after watching a video of one a few months back
I've always loved The Cog. Sounds like they're using a different whistle than they used to, though. They used to have single chime whistles.
I've climbed up the tracks to go skiing in the Great Gulf in April. It's surprisingly easy, basically like a staircase, and you can make it the whole way in under an hour if you move fast.
