I had the opportunity to ride the Pikes Peak Cog Railway, which is something I've wanted to do my whole life! It was an awesome ride and I highly recommend it! It was slow though, taking over an hour to reach the summit, so I decided to speed up the footage by 4x. These new trains are nice, but it's disappointing that you can't watch from the back window since there is a large engine in the way. The older trains were self propelled and had excellent viewing windows in both the front and back. I was so surprised seeing these trains for the first time because the wheels were so tiny! It looks strange, but I guess big wheels are not needed for a train that goes 15.5 mph (24.9 kmh).
