Pittsburgh, PA. (Swissvale, to be exact) Is that a cog railway?
That's Duquesne Hill. It's a funicular railway. The view at the top is glorious.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Cool. We've got one of those at the Royal Gorge. I was asking because I only know of two cog railways in the US. One here (Pike's Peak) and one somewhere in New England. I thought I had spotted a third.

If you want to see more, I'm too lazy to go through flickr's sharing process.

We have several gorgeous places to hike in my area, but Virginia Kendall Ledges is my favorite. That's where I got the pictures from.

Taken from the back deck of my country place looking south last Christmas - if not for the fog and cloud cover, you could see Mt. Hood and the Cascade range on the left.

Fine fine I will share nicer things also.
This castle is super cool and is like 15 miles from. My house.
Ohio Caverns is also super close to my house (maybe a 20 minute drive if you're slow)
It's super cold down there and there are bats, but it's really awesome too.
Here's the Orr Mansion, it was part of the Underground Railroad. It's maybe 5 miles from my house.

A stock photo, but an accurate one: Carlsbad, California, my paradise.
