CONCORD — Wayne Presby, owner of the Cog Railway, asked the Governor’s Economic Reopening Task Force for an increase from 50 to 60 percent capacity for his excursion train to the summit of Mount Washington.

Presby said last Thursday he has been prevented from doing that because of a lack of shelter on the summit of Mount Washington in bad weather for his passengers who spend some time at the top.
