The steam engine is an adventure trip. Must not have fear of heights. Staff were so professional and worth the 3 hours. Check out the Tip Top House.

Adam Stallman

Maybe not for the faint of heart but the best way to see the Mt Washington Summit ! I recommend sitting on the left side front going up and the right side front going down. Check the weather beforehand

Becca Carleton

Check out the museum downstairs and watch the movie about the history of the railway. Remember not th feed the bears , they are already stuffed!

Lots of great information available at the base camp. Helpful friendly staff . Great shopping opportunity. Fabulous ride to the summit with fun and knowledgeable brakemen. Don’t miss it!!

Wear good walking/hiking boots to take advantage of awesome trails and walks to explore at the top of Mt. Washington

Nick Petrucci

We've taken the auto road and this was a great option. A little pricy but a fun alternative to get to the summit .

USA TODAY

The world's first cog railroad — which uses gears that interlock with toothed racks on the ground . The grade's so steep that you need to stay seated during the ride. Read more

It’s mostly diesel-powered now, but there’s a steam locomotive still making the first run of the day just like a century ago.

Dave Lepkowski

The ride is good

Slower but easier than the Mt Washington Auto Road

Stephen Deitch

A great day. Worth the $.

Michael Leszczuk

Amazing!!!!

Bill Obst

Last train of the day is $15 off!

Amanda McNeil

The first train of the day is the steam train . Book your tickets early. The left side has the best views on the way up.

Steam engine coaches stink inside, not sure how different the ride is...
