29-JACOB'S LADDER
MT. WASHINGTON COG RAILWAY
WHITE MOUNTAINS, N. H.
The ride over this far-famed trestle, known
as Jacob's Ladder, is perhaps the most thrill-
ing part of the ascent of Mt. Washington when
made over the first and oldest Cog Railway
in the world. The sturdy little cog-wheeled
engine pushes its passenger coach up the
steep sides of Mt. Washington over an aver
age grade of 1300 feet and a maximum grade
of 1980 feet to the mile. As the summit is ap-
proached, the air grows colder and colder,
the tree line vanishes and sub-Alpine vegeta-
tion commences.
