Jacob's Ladder, Mt. Washington Cog Railway, Mt. Washington, New Hampshire
A massive trestle over which the cog wheel engine pushes the coach up the steep side of Mt. Washington a distance of about three miles, average grade 1300 feet, a maximum grade of 1980 feet to mile. At this point the tree line ends and the Sub-Alpine vegetation begins. The air grows colder and colder as you ascend and a marvelous vista spreads before you as you reach the Summit. The world's first Cog Railway.
