[STICKY]My Pic Of The Day

Did 200 km around the hills in the rain yesterday by motorcycle and couldn't be bothered taking my camera out of the bag so you get a pic from today's 40km cycle ride around the city instead.

When I saw the picture it immediately reminded me of the Cog Railway to the Summit of Pike's Peak in Colorado.

There is a chance both railways were build by the same guy...
First time I saw it I thought the loco had had a decent prang and was bent out of shape.
 
Similar to the Fell Train system they used to use on the Rimutaka railway near Wellington. That track had a third centre rail that was raised up and two wheels gripped it horizontally under the engine.
