So true. It was the very first Cog Railway in the world, now widely
copied on many a steep incline.
I beg to differ on that point!! the first Cog Railway was the
Middleton Railway between Middleton and Leeds in Yorkshire. The
Mount Washington Railroad was the first Mountain Cog Railway.
Whatever next I don't know.... you'll be claiming the first Electric
Railway next...then steam.... tut tut tut.... ;-)
Yes, yes, we have the firsts in all those as well. The American
Indians developed, in the 1200's.......
