For you history buffs, there's an excellent article on the Cog Railroad in Wikipedia, with lots of pictures at the bottom. There's trivia also, like "when/where did the Ski train run" along with many other interesting (at least to me) facts. A good resource, and lots of effort much have been devoted to researching it.
 
Nice article. The only thing missing is that the Cog was once directly connected to the main rail lines at Fabyans? The grade and cuts now serve as part of the cross country ski trails at Bretton Woods. I have always wondered if some of the delegates of the1944 World Monetary Conference took a ride on the COG. That conference was a pretty big deal and reportedly had numerous flaws.
