Some interesting MS Mount Washington items:

$42 or 45-dollars: one ticket now in 2022 on the Mount's 2.5-hour scenic narrated cruise around Lake Winnipesaukee, same price as a gasoline fill-up for a compact car like a Honda Fit.

The old wa-wa-wa-wa sound of its two diesels coming from the exhaust stack changed to a bzzzzzzz sound in 2010 with installation of two new Caterpillar diesel engines which replaced two diesels installed after the war in 1946. A federal car allowance rebate system or 'Cash for Clunkers' under the Obama administration funded these new engines with a $700,000 federal grant "intended to provide economic incentives to purchase a new, more fuel efficient vehicle when trading in a less fuel efficient vehicle."

Just last month in April, 2022, its two bronze propellers were replaced with two new bronze propellers which will propel it around the big lake at something like 19.5 mph while it bzzzzzzz's along with its two, relatively new, diesel efficient engines ..... powered up by the President Obama administration.
