1870s Mt Washington NH Railway COG Train Engines Kilburn Bros 2x Stereoview Set. This set of 2 original photo stereoview cards shows the steam locomotives moving up Mt Washington in New Hampshire and passing through the RR stion. Buyer pays s/h.
From the day our original locomotive #1 Hero (nicknamed Peppersass) first reached the summit in 1869 up until 2008, the Cog was a steam railroad. While it was primarily designed to build the railway, Peppersass saw passenger service until it was retired in 1878.
As more locomotives were added over time, the wood fired engines gave way to coal, and the odd looking vertical boilers took on the more traditional horizontal orientation (although tilted to compensate for the steep mountain grades).
Today, two coal-fired steam locomotives (both manufactured in New Hampshire at the Manchester Locomotive Works) continue to work the rails on Mount Washington: MW2 (Ammonoosuc), built in 1875, and MW9 (Waumbek), built in 1908.
