The surpsing story of the Cog Railway on Mount Washington, and how one eccentric man's dream paved the way.On July 3, 1869, the three-and-one-third-mile track leading to the summit of picturesque Mount Washington opened for public use. Once, only those daring enough to scale the 6,288 feet could enjoy the splendor of the scenery, but now everyone could journey to the summit using the invention of retired businessman Sylvester Marsh, who dreamed of this mountainous mode of transportation.

Heald ties the history of its construction together with the grand romance of the railway as they triumphantly converge at the top of Mount Washington. Read more
