THOMPSON & MESERVE'S PURCHASE — Joe Gray may not be faster than a speeding locomotive but he was quicker than the iconic Cog Railway up the summit of Mount Washington last Saturday. He received $500 for beating the train up “The Beast of the East.”
Gray, 38, of Colorado Springs, Colo., won his sixth straight Delta Dental Mount Washington Road Race on June 18 in a weather-shortened race and remained in the Granite State for an additional week to take on the Cog.
