Steam Engine Ride to the Summit

I was offered a ride in the cab of the steam locomotive for a 3 hour trip to the summit of Mt Washington. Having done this before, I was going to leave the camera behind to save it from the shaking that is characteristic of these small locomotives. Additionally, everything above looked to be in the clouds so I had doubts if any photo ops would present. I was talked into bringing the camera and was glad I did as the summit was in the clear and there was a wonderful undercast as I looked out over the valleys.
