Say-hey ......for some unknown reason, my link above to NH.com from Feb-2018 doesn't work, and it has some good Cog photos from Mt Washington ..... so's any chance someone here can redo it so it works?
Googling: 'Cog railway owner doubts proposed Skyline Lodge' should get you to this February, 2018 article in NewHampshire.com .
As viewed from Lincoln Park (posted-no trespassing; no entry into the lake water from Lincoln Park for swimming or kayaking) in Gilford, the Cog Railroad is on the other side, the west side, of Mt Washington. For something like 145-years, the Cog used locomotives that burned coal, the coal exhaust could be seen for miles and miles ..... there's just something very special about coal burning, steam locomotives .... compared to an efficient, modern diesel....what's now used to haul the passenger car up and down the steep slope...... made in Germany .... so its good that the Cog has kept one historic coal-steamer engine in use.
