Anyone here tried the Mt. Washington Cog Railway in New Hampshire(NH), USA? What are the advantages of taking the cog train versus driving up to the top?
I am going there on Oct 14th as a part of a fall foliage trip.

A few years back my friend and I went up in that train, great experience. It was around the same time of the year and we had real snow while on the mountain.
I would take the train again, but also tell people only to drive up when experienced in driving mountain roads in snow conditions.
Also check weather conditions and road closures. I know they close that road at times but I do not know with how much snow they stay open.
If you bother going there, take the train.
I was there several years ago, when they still operated the kind of original steam engines, but from what I read, those are no longer in regular service, or have been rebuilt. But the experience is still it.
Just be aware, it is steep…
