Ire CenCral vermont railway has re- |
Gently inaugurated a new and fast |
train service to the West for the spe-
cial accommodation of the granite man
ufacturers of the state, which is bound
to aid very materially in the develop
ment and exploitation of this great
and rapidly growing industry. The
service is for special train carrying
nothing but granite, and runs three
days each week from Montpelier juno
tion to Port Huron, Mich, and takes
on all product for the west from the
manufactures in Montpelier, Barre,
Burlington, st. Adams, Hardwick and
Swanton. The first train consisted of
40 cars and left Montpelier Junction
last week Tuesday it arrived in Chi
cago on Saturday, remarkably quick
service. The train will be operated
exclusively for granite and will be
| maintained as long as the business
warrants it. This is but one of the
many plans the Central Vermont is
working out for the development of
the business of the state.
