The Mount Washington Observatory on an icy winter day. It was here that a wind gust of 231 mph was measured on April 12, 1934. It remained the highest-ever anemometer-measured wind gust on Earth until an even higher gust was observed on Barrow Island, Australia, in 1996.
Driving your car up the mountain is expensive I never did the train up the mountain just by car but it was well worth the money. Too bad Mobleinstinct did not film the cool museum at the base of the mountain on the auto road
A very expensive excursion. We take the shortcut up Huntingdon's Ravine and climb straight up the cliff (free climb, no ropes). An unforgettable thrill and the view from atop Mt Washington encompasses the Atlantic and Montreal on clear days. Just bring a fur hat and gloves if you have them.
10 years ago I lived a few miles from Mount Washington for 2 years. Beautiful area when the sun is out, HA, which isnt very often. ha First time I went up the Cog Rail I was 8 years and I was petrified we were all going to crash and die. 🤣
The first turnout or switch for the Mt. Washington Cog RR was designed by the owner-operator of the railroad while he was in Europe fighting in WWII. Prior to that the railroad only had the transfer table at the base station and operated all trains in a row. The turnouts had 9 separate pieces to move to facilitate changing the direction the train would go. We passed through Crawford Notch in November of 1982 on our way to Conway, NH for a T.R.A.I.N. Convention.
Other than your fantastic vlogs of all of your really neat trips, I gotta know what you do for a living to be having a great time and travel as you get to do!! You have the best videos!! Keep them coming!!
231 mph ? Did I read that correctly ? Wow. That is one of THE coolest tourist attractions I have ever seen. There is so much history being preserved and celebrated. Well Done.
@@rogerstlaurent8704 , I believe that because of the instruments used that there is some dispute , either way those are some wind 💨 gust, almost as wicked as the ‘ol dogs 🐕 gas !!
@@jimrossi7708 Oh course the Cry Babies are going Cry 😭😭😭😭😭😭 foul over the wind gust what a bunch of Panzies and if you're a New Englander not only did the Aussie take the crown for the highest wind gust ever recorded in New England but the Aussie also took the crown away from New England again in 1983 in Newport RI ok in my neighbor The America's cup sailing races ⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵Talk about dispute from .cheating and everything else you could imagine yes even a submarine was under the sailing boat LOL .. come to find out Australia built a better racing boat with a advance Keel that the world has never seen before
9:35 John deer marine engine! About 650HP on that loco. 600 on the first 5 diesels. 11:10 Wildcat Mountain Ski Area I work the cog in the summer and that ski area in the winter. Love my office views
At the .31 second mark. That Looks like a Buffalo Springfield steam roller. Diesel powered ones are called road rollers. I got a live steam model of that in 1968 when I was 5. Large scale too. It burned solid fuel. it was called Old Smokey.
I took the Pikes Peak Cogway back in 1987. Since then, the track and all its part were taken out with all new track installed. Not sure about the passenger train
@@MobileInstinct2 It's worth the trip. Especially with the makeover completed. Remember that it's extremely cold at the top. Don't let warm weather at the bottom fool you. And you can see wildlife on the way up. Bring a camera for sure. Extinct volcanos are close by...
That moose hasn't moved in a 100 years 😁 The record wind speed was recorded as the anonometer broke away, so the actual wind speed may have been higher.
Hi Chris I follow I was wondering why do you post on two different channels? We love the videos and are hard pressed to come across one that have not yet seen keep up the great work and safe travels 👍!
I’ve taken the van ride up, I’ve driven up, I’ve hiked up, I proposed to my wife on top, yet, I still have not taken the Cog. It’s definitely on the list.
On a really clear day you can see the higher peaks of the Green mountains in Vermont and the high peaks region of the Adirondack to the west and to the east you can see the Atlantic Ocean
11:17 Oh No! It’s my least favorite staircase in the world! 😱 😂 It may look easy now, but It was So Scary when I was last up there, it was shaking fiercely! 😮

Unbelievable, Chris! What a fantastic trip you're having. I should say "we" are having since you are good enough to take us with you! Thanks!
I WAS THERE 57 YEARS AGO,LOL,,..THANK YOU CHRIS
Awesome day too!! No winds, clear skies... 😎
🪂
Cool fact: Earlier this year, Mt. Washington set a record for the coldest wind chill in US history at 46.9 degrees below zero.
Nice but you can say something with the cool fact or fun fact thing. Thanks.

Thanks... lived in NH for over 50 years and never visited Mt. Washington!
Nice short trip! Looks beautiful out there.. thanks for the ride !😊
You’re Very Lucky to have such a clear view! Both times I was up there, it was low visibility! There was still snow on my Cog trip!
Super, Chris
Very lovely tour and thanks for sharing this.❤😂🎉
You had a beautiful day, hard to come by this summer. Thanks for sharing.
What a sight to behold.
Glad to see you didn't miss the train back down again! I couldn't believe you walked back down! Thanks
Breathtaking video, Thanks Chris ❣
You should come down to the sw part of NH and do a video on Mt Monadnock , the 2nd most climbed mountain in the world.
That had to be an experience with the uphill climb.
Driving your car up the mountain is expensive I never did the train up the mountain just by car but it was well worth the money. Too bad Mobleinstinct did not film the cool museum at the base of the mountain on the auto road
i have been on the Mt. Washington cog railway i love seeing the close up of the cog under the train.
How cool! You got to see a moose! 🚂🫎

My favorite route too. The Chimneys are my fav.
How truly interesting! Thank you for the tour. 😊❤️🙏
Too cool! Thank you for your awesome content. Always interesting.
Really cool, thanks so much for sharing this amazing experience🚂
Beautiful, nice video Chris

Very fascinating ! Bet it was cold out on the top !
Really amazing !
Wow, you got a view, when I was there everything was clouded in.
Beautiful video thank you

Great Job Chris Love the Videos!
Fascinating and breathtaking.
Superb videography and narration
Fantastic footage! , Excellent Video!. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
That is an awesome place to visit. Thanks for taking us with you.
The first machines were for clearing the way and making a base for the tracks.
Awesomeness
Nice!!
@@MobileInstinct2 Keep up the good work 👍
Great tour ❤ wish the link was here for the Tip-Top House video you did prior, love the history 😊
I took the cog railway ride as a kid back in the late 90's before they even had the diesel engines. Its a scary but fun ride and view.

Yes, it's hard to fathom that
The 231 mph wind gust was a world record for many years in 2010 in Australia broke the record at 253 mph
correction 1996 not 2010

same here on the bucket list
Cool!
Awesome Video
👍🍀🇮🇳👍🍀
On a really clear day you can see the higher peaks of the Green mountains in Vermont and the high peaks region of the Adirondack to the west and to the east you can see the Atlantic Ocean
Loved it. I have never seen a cog railway before. Looks way up there. Did you say the elevation? Thank you Chris.
Its the highest peak on the eastern side of the U.S. But not too high compared to the west. 6,288 ft
cool !
1:22 Bullwinkle is creeping on you……
11:17 Oh No! It’s my least favorite staircase in the world! 😱 😂 It may look easy now, but It was So Scary when I was last up there, it was shaking fiercely! 😮
9:00 I thought this place looked familiar lol
It's wonderful, but we invite you to the European Railways - only here the experiences are close to history!!!
You love life too much to do that. You've got guts. I've seen them.
6:30 an-a-MOM eter
How long is the ride up/down?
They ruined it with dieselization!!!!
Wildcat Mountain Ski Area
