Railroad Notes.

Garnet Cunningham goes on his vaca
| ton next week to his home in CRANKY
VT
Supt. w. f. Costello of the southern
division of the Central Vermont was IL
town Tuesday and Wednesday.
Harry Peck was in northampton Thu
week making few purchases for the fall
Peck is known as the man who never
sleeps"
M. Magiff, superintendent of telegraph
and car accountant of st. Adams, was in
Brattleboro Tuesday. When it comes tC
the point where a good railroad man com,
bined with a perfect gentleman is wanted
we suggest Mr. Magiff as the one best
bet
Conductor John O'Brien, who brings 9d
in on time when he isn't late, takes q
well earned vacation this week, part of
which will be spent in Boston. O'Brien
is perhaps better known as Rockefeller on
account of his large real estate holdings
in White River Junction.
BILLY" Anderson will take Condr.
O'Brien's place on the White River juno
ton run. Anderson is without any doubt
one of the most accommodating chaps
that we know anything about, and if we
had our way we would raise his pay, TAX
ing the necessary dough" from the sal
airy of some of the knockers chorus"
Perhaps you aren't aware of the fact
that Dave Carey owns fine farm near
Bellows Falls Well, he doesn't, so you
win. But Carey ought to own something
to pay for the questions he has to answer
every day. By actual count he answered
women had to leave to catch the train or

Speaking of memories, James Grady,
the yardmaster at Brattleboro, can re-
member cars and car numbers longer
than any man we ever saw. He can walk
through the yard and when he returns If
he is asked as to the location of any par
ticular car he can give it as easily as
Billy Riley can go to sleep, and as every
one knows that's too easy to talk about.
While Eugene Ferriter may not be in
Jeffries's class still he can Ego some"
Sunday morning he handed few gentle
pushes to young fellow who persisted in
ANNOYING him at the crossing. He sup
plemented the aforesaid pushes by a
couple of well directed efforts with his
right foot that would make football
player green with envy. Reports credit
him with kicking goal in the first three
minutes OF play.
Charles Alexander, foreman of the
round house, is certainly the happiest
man we know. It makes no difference to
him whether school keeps or not, he. is
always right on deck with his winning
smile We say winning. advisedly,, as he
recently stuck us matching nickels and
at the time we noticed his beautiful smile
as he faded away with our filthy lucre.
But letting bygones be bygones they do
say that he is one of the best machinists
on the Central Vermont road.
The next time you 60 away wait till
30 seconds before the train is due to leave
and then rush up and try to have three
trunks and suit case checked Then
when you miss your train or have to go
without your baggage blame it all on. the
railroad and put up an awful holler about
etc. Then go home and read
some muck raking articles written by
some fellow that knew as much about
practical railroading as Sandy Daniels
does about basket ball, and you will have
your ideas about railroads. Next time |
get down in season and see how much |
brighter the world looks. Car Wheel.
