The Central Vermont freight train go
ing to Barre Wednesday morning caused !
some comment because il is uncommon /
for it to make the trip in the morning; |
but il developed that it was special run
made to get some coal into Barre. There /
were nine cars that went TO Barre on
the morning run, while three ears were
set out at Montpelier. Most OF the cars
brought from Montpelier Junction on
that run We're filled with hard coal. In
addition TO the above mentioned II cars.
nine other cars came TO Montpelier and
Barre during the day. OF these, five
were for Montpelier and were soft coal,
while the remainder went to Barre, max
ing total of q cars that came to this
branch during the day. This relieved the
conditions in the two cities a great deal.
