The West River Railroad.

Members OF the railroad commission
stated, when in Brattleboro Wednesday,
that they have completed the annual in
spectlon of the Central Vermont rail-
road and it's branches and leased lines
The condition of the main line of the
Central Vermont is good, affordng no
ground of complaint. The condition of
its bridges is exceptionally good The
conditions on the branch lines are in the
main, satisfactory. Members of the board
stated that they were surprised TO find
so good road bed on the West River
road, The road is well balasted, and its
worst feature at the present time is its
light rails, which weigh only sc pounds to
the yard. The Central Vermont company
is, however, taking up IS pound rails on
other branch lines and will lay these rails
on the West River road in the near flu
ture. An expert bridge engineer, Mr.
Stowen of Albany, y. Y, accompanies
the commission and personally inspects
all the bridges All those on the West
River road were found to be safe. but
some changes and strengthening will be
suggested by the commission. The mar
row gauge road was originally built to
save all possible construction expense
and ii is, therefore, not surprising to
know that all told there are 295 curves
in the sc miles Some Of the worst of
the curves have been reduced since the
road was made a standard gauge and
others VIII be Strengthened in due time
