The Mount Washington Cog Railway

White Mountains Family Vacation Photo Contest

In 1983, two families joined forces to purchase the Mount Washington Cog Railway and as the Presbys and Bedors celebrate their 25th anniversary as the owners, they invited families to become a part of theirs this summer.

This photograph was taken by my late Father-in-Law (R. H. Loomis - Windsor, CT) in August 1966 while he and his wife Jean had taken thier two daughters Beth (Arlington, Ma) & Dale (Concord, NH) to Mount Washington. Jean passed away in 1980 and Raymond in 2007. Their daughters live in New Hampshire and Massachusetts now. Please post this photo in memory of their parents.

Train on Jacob's Ladder
I recently found this wonderful collection of tiny tourist collectable photos that my grandfather must have purchased on a visit to Mount Washington in the 1920's or 1930's - they are in pristine condition, and I don't see any of these old images posted on your website. Since the spirit is from my "family's photo collection," I am submitting these thee generational photos to the contest for their historical value.
