The Mount Washington Cog Railway, which climbs the slopes of Mount Washington in the White Mountains, is the setting for this view of a yellow cog car trailing steam over green hillsides. Cog railways use a toothed rack rail that engages a gear on the locomotive, letting trains climb grades too steep for ordinary rail traction. The line opened in 1869 and was among the first of its kind in the world, carrying summer visitors to the summit for views across the Presidential Range. The bright car against the green slope shows how the railway became a fixture of the New Hampshire landscape.
