Off in the distance

The Cog wants to build a 25,000 square foot, 35-room, two story hotel building, that spans the single railroad track, within its' 99' right of way, at an elevation of 5000', within a mile of the 6289' Mt Washington summit.

Does their 99' railroad right of way, intended for the track, in place since 1869, legally allow the Cog to build a hotel way up top the mountain?

The Cog sold off its' interest in the nearby Mount Washington hotel a couple years ago, and wants to construct a Cog hotel high up on the track right of way?

Is this a good development or a bad development? Private business; jobs, wages, local prop taxes, state taxes, brings people to Mt Washington.
Probably has a public style bathroom that could maybe be used by hikers going up or down the super steep, Jewell Trail .....so's who knows .... let all the litigation continue and continue and continue?
