CHANDLER’S PURCHASE — A new plan to relieve congestion in front of the Sherman Adams Building and provide new services to their passengers and other visitors to the 6,288-foot summit was presented by spokesmen of the family-owned Mount Washington Cog Railway Company at last Friday’s meeting of the 12-member Mount Washington Commission in the Cog’s new 250-by-120-foot maintenance facility near the Marshfield Base Station.
Commissioner Sarah Stewart of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources enthusiastically introduced the slideshow presentation given jointly by Cog president and commission member Wayne Presby and Cog counsel Earl Duval of Loudon, formerly of Sugar Hill.
