The Cog’s horn can really travel! 🚂

From Middle Sugarloaf to Marshfield Station it’s 8.4 miles. Even on a windy day, I could still make out that distinct sound of the Cog Railway, making its way to Waumbek Station, on the west side of Mt Washington. At first it was a little eerie tbh, then I realized what I was actually hearing 😮‍💨
