    Colorado is home to one of only cog railways in the nation and it was built specifically to carry tourists to the top of Pikes Peak. The Pikes Peak Cog Railway is one special train. "This is not an ordinary train," said Dave Donatto, the railway traffic manager. "This is what is called a cog railway, it's a kind of gear." Those gears will pull the passengers cars up the side of the mountain the to 14,100 foot summit of Pikes Peak.
