Last year I made my first trip to Elkin, North Carolina to explore the area. I ventured into the downtown area and noticed this bridge that was built in 1899 was listed a photo opportunity on their map.

With this still being an active rail line, I carefully framed this shot and gave it a vintage look in post processing.

I rode the Mount Washington Cog Railway in the state of New Hampshire, USA today.

This astonishing little train is capable to climb grades up to 37% (20 degrees) at speeds up to 5 mph (8 km/h) to Mt. Washington summit and back since 1866.
