The Cog Railroad is a unique and fun experience, however it is very expensive and advancements in technology and the Cog RR have very little to do with each other. You will need layers and an outer shell, temp differences can be 40-50 degrees lower on the summit compared to the base station. You will not have a significant amount of time to explore the summit. The other choices for an ascent include a van ride up the Auto Road, cheaper than the Cog and again not a lot of time at the summit, your own vehicle up the Auto Road (somewhat harrowing, narrow winding road - not paved much of the way) or a hike up one of the many trails.
