Mount Washington Cog Railway No. 1 (Peppersass)

Mount Washington Cog Railway No. 1 named, "Peppersass" is a 0-2-2T steam locomotive built by Campbell & Whittier in Roxbury, MA, in 1866.
The locomotive was used to help build the Mount Washington Cog Railway. When the building of the railroad was complete, it hauled passenger trains on the line until it was retired from active service in 1878. 
In 1896, the Boston & Maine Railroad decided to restore Peppersass and let her make a commemorative trip for the railway's 60th anniversary. The locomotive last operated in 1929.
"Peppersass" is now on static display at the Marshfield Base Station of the Mount Washington Cog Railway.
==Trivia==
*This locomotive is an example of a Mount Washington Cog Railway engine with a vertical boiler that pivoted to allow for changes into grades on the mountain so that the boiler will always remain up right.
*This is the first locomotive that ran on the Mount Washington Cog Railway, and also the World's first cog locomotive.
*Peppersass had been moved about the country and placed on display at numerous exhibitions. It was also exhibited at the New York World's Fair 1939-40. At the time of the fair, the engine was in the keeping of the B&O. 
*The locomotive was originally named Hero, but was quickly re-named Peppersass. The reason why it was named Peppersass it's because of its vertical boiler's resemblance to a pepper sauce bottle.
