The steam engines are a bit slower and must stop once to take on water, so the same trip on the steamer is closer to an hour. Our biodiesel powered trains make the climb up to 6288’ in approximately 45 minutes.
The round trip to the summit and back is just under 3 hours. If you miss your train, we will always do everything possible to move your reservation to the next scheduled train, if seating is available. All trains leave promptly on schedule– we cannot wait for late passengers. There are no restrooms on the trains, but there are facilities at the Base Station, at Waumbek Station, and at the Summit building.īoarding begins 15 minutes prior to departure. This will give you plenty of time to pick up your tickets, grab a drink or a snack at the food court, explore the museum, browse the gift shop and use the restroom. It’s important that you arrive at the Base Station at least 45 minutes before your train is scheduled to depart. How soon before my scheduled departure should I arrive at the Base Station? Please be advised that some GPS navigation apps and devices still do not map our location properly and may direct you 50 miles away to Pinkham Notch/ Route 16 on the eastern side of the mountain, causing you to miss your train. The Mount Washington Cog Railway is located on the western side of the mountain, and access to our base station is off of Route 302 near the Omni Mount Washington Resort in Bretton Woods, NH. Once the Visitor Center locks up tight, there is no shelter accessible to the public up there, and it is absolutely not a safe or pleasant environment in which to be stuck outside! When the summit is closed, we run shorter trips to Skyline and Waumbek Station Where is Marshfield Base Station? Yes! However, the Mount Washington State Park at the summit closes for the winter from mid-October thru early May. This includes wearing a mask and maintaining a safe physical distance from others, ESPECIALLY if you are not fully vaccinated. Regardless, we continue to urge our guests to use respectful, common-sense health precautions when on our trains and in our buildings. IMPORTANT SERVICE UPDATE: All COVID-19 mask, distancing and other State-mandated restrictions on the Mount Washington Cog Railway were lifted as of Saturday, June 26, 2021.
