A new engine has Just been added TO
the Barre division of the Central Yer
mont railroad, having been driven into
the city from the st. Adams shops by
Engineer Mahan of the subdivision from
Montpelier Junction. The locomotive is
the smallest engine to carry passenger
traffic on the Central road. The engine,
which has made but few runs on trial,
has been found suitable for hauling the
trains on the Barre and Williamstown
division and will probably be kept here,
as il is too small TO be used on the main
line. The engine was tested out at the
st. Adams shops on Jan. 26 and has .
water test of lis pounds and an air pres
sure of 30 pounds.
