Dr. Sportster, I have read many posts of yours with interest and have come to respect your knowledge. This post of yours is, however, obviously coming from total ignorance of the subject. The accident that you refer to took place 51 years ago. The train is totally new, the track is totally new, and everything about it when riding it gives you complete confidence.

To Chuck T, another YTer contacted me and offered to go with me to meet with you when you come to NH, to further describe NH's Cog railway to you.
