Why the earth are we stopping at Bretton Woods this month [swg] Bretton Woods is a town of rather unknown fame. First of all, it is home to the first mountain climbing cog railway, which started operation in 1858, many years before the Swiss discovered that shuttling tourist up the mountains is a lucrative business. Up until a few years ago, much of the original equipment was in daily use, but in recent years, rather unsightly Diesel locos have taken over from the unique steam engines. The line has lost a lot of its pioneering atmosphere through this move. Bretton Woods is also a town which made it into world history in 1944, hosting the United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference,  a gathering of 730 delegates from all 44 Allied nations at the Mount Washington Hotel, to regulate the international monetary and financial order after the conclusion of World War II. The Bretton Woods system of pegged exchange rates lasted into 1973. So breathe a bit of historic air while you enjoy climbing up Mt. Washington with me!
