There's a mountain climbing cog railway in new hampshire that climbs mount washington. which is the highest mountain peak (6288 ft) in the northeast. it is the first cog railway built in america (built in 1869) and is still operated the same way today. it's a coal driven steam engine that 2 engineers have to constantly shovel coal in order to push a passenger car up the mountain. i have ridden the train a few times and every time, regardless of the season, the conductors are completly covered in sweat, dirt and coal dust. i think that it would make a great show, with the history of the train and the dirty conditions the conductors have to deal with just to make the trip up and down the mountain.
you guys should check it out, it would make a great show. i could see mike going a lot of different ways with this dirty job.www.thecog.com
