MWCR 9 - Waumbek eases a train down the mountainside |
| Description: |
My first-ever visit to the Mount Washington Cog Railway - June 29, 1965 on a family summer vacation with my parents. From a slide taken by my father. That's my brother and me trackside in the blue hooded sweat shirts. |

MWCR 9, Waumbek |
| Description: |
The Cog advertises that the 9:00 a.m. departure will be powered by an historic steam locomotive. On July 23, MWCR #9, Waumbek, drew the duty. Here it is after the run, being kept hot in case an extra section needed to be run in the afternoon. Otherwise, most of the trains nowadays are being powered by the new biodiesel interlopers. |

MWCR 9 - Waumbek shoving upgrade on Jacobs Ladder trestle |
| Description: |
This was the money shot of the day, and the one that I hiked three and a half hours in to get. The steepest part of the Mt Washington Cog Railway (37.4% gradient), and arguably the most photogenic spot along the cog railway's route. |

On the way up to me |
| Description: |
I reached my intended photo location on the knoll overlooking the Jacobs Ladder trestle as the steam train started up the mountain from the base station. In this shot you can see the steam train getting closer, the Waumbek water tank, and two diesel powered trains down at the base station in the upper left corner of the photo. The Red diesel - M3 Abenaki is boarding passengers, and the White Diesel (with purple passenger car) has already started up the hill behind the steam train. |

MWCR 9 descending Mt Washington |
| Description: |
The engineer saw me taking photos up on the hillside and recognized me from the day before. He gave a friendly toot on the whistle - also a photogenic bonus steam plume for a "down" train. That's Mount Clay in the upper right of the photo. I had climbed up that long ridgeline up to Mt Clay earlier in the morning to gain my hoped-for photo spot at Jacobs Ladder |
