Our ascent to the top took approximately 40 minutes at 6 mph. As we ascended higher we found ourselves in the middle of the clouds. Jacob's Ladder is one of the highest vertical trusses for a train to climb. I am actually pretty ok with not being able to see down....it looked scary when I could only see about 25 feet! On our journey we saw one of the other train cars as well as the Steam engine returning from the top. It is actually still running on coal.
And higher we go...........
