LANCASTER — The non-profit Mount Washington Observatory filed a lawsuit in Coos County Superior Court on Monday against the Mount Washington Cog Railway, alleging that the 1869-built mountain railway broke a 2009 agreement to pay the Obs a dollar for every passenger it takes to the summit in exchange for free admission to the Obs’ Summit Museum.

In its suit, the Obs also asks the court to force the Cog to refrain from further efforts to “harass the Observatory based on false claims of land ownership or other supposed restrictive covenants.”
