EDITORS COMMENTS
A captivating image from the early 1910s capturing the determination and grit of the Cog Road engine crew as they ascend the steep and rugged terrain of Pikes Peak in Colorado, USA. The Cog Road, also known as the Pikes Peak Cog Railway, was a remarkable engineering feat that opened in 1891, making it the highest railway in the world at the time. This photograph showcases the engineering marvel in action, with the steam-powered locomotive and its passengers making their way up the mountain's rocky slope. The crew members, dressed in heavy coats and hats, can be seen working diligently to keep the train on track as they navigate the steep incline. The passengers in the carriage behind the engine appear to be in awe of the breathtaking views of the Rocky Mountains, their faces etched with excitement and wonder. The Cog Road remained a popular tourist attraction throughout the 1910s, offering visitors a unique and thrilling experience as they ascended to the summit of Pikes Peak. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and spirit of the early 20th century, and a reminder of the rich history of transportation and tourism in America.
