TIE RUTLAND & BUHLISeroN RAIL
ROAD CAR AND RErAIB SHors-The
new car shop which has just been COM
pleted by the Rutland 4 Burlington
railroad company, was commenced in
July or August last, and is likely to
prove q most valuable acquisition, not
only to the company, but to the town Of
Rutland. The building, constructed Of
brick, Is 1876 by ITO feet on the ground,
and is heated by steam. There is moth

Ing-but 1t has an sir Of nestness and
convenience about it, that pleases the
eye, and satisfies the observer that the
plan has been well conceived and exc
cuted. There are three railway tracks
laid through the building, on which to
run the locomotives and cars. The
main portion Of the shop IS to be devot-
ed to the manufacturing of both passen-
ger and freight cars, and will employ for
the present about ffty hands. When the
machinery is all in full operation, it is
estimated that about four cars week
can be turned out. There is now pas

full we have anywhere seen. A novel

Of construction, in the new building,
and the cars recently damaged by the
breaking OF q rail near Brandon are I'M
iergoing repairs. Attached to, and
forming part Of the new car-hOuse, is
a blacksmith shop with trip hammer,

direction of N. L. Davis, the master me
chanic, who is assisted by competent
head mechanics in the various depart
ments of the establishment.
The old repair shop Is hereafter to be de-
voted exclusively to the building and re-
pairing oflocomotives. In this building,
which is 1870 by IS feet on the ground,
all the iron and wood work was former
