Patrons of the West River railroad
have been renewing their complaints
about poor service this week, and ap'
pearances would seem to indicate that
they had good grounds Aside from the
shortage of ears, which has existed
practically all winter, there is now a
shortage of motive power. During the
first of the week there was only one
locomotive in shape for service, and the
northbound freight Tuesday morning
had to wait until the arrival of the
sonthbound passenger train in order to
get an engine. The extreme cold wealth
er of the past month has been very
hard on the Central Vermont engines
but it would seem as if the supply
ought to be large enough to meet such
contingencies.
