  "The Mount Washington Cog Railway has experienced only one major accident
   since its founding in 1869. In 1967, due perhaps to human error, a switch
   on the track was improperly set. As a result, a descending train lost its
   braking power, began to pick up speed and finally derailed. Eight of the
   passengers aboard died."
