The Central Vermont Railway com
pany was able to get enough piles driv-
en- in the washout between Mortified
and Roxbury Sunday SO that traffic
was resumed at ll;50 o'clock Sunday
morning, thus putting an end to the
detouring of trains over the Montpelier
& Wells River railroad and giving the
train crews on the last road a
chance to get some rest, for some of
them ran well towards the l6 hours
permitted by law. The daylight trains
of Sunday were run over the site of
the washout of Saturday morning but
a slow order to six miles an hour will
be effective until the roadbed is again
in shape. II will take several days to
get enough granite grout to fill up the
place All of the trains Saturday and
Sunday were late because of this trou

John Sullivan of st. Adams, acting
train master, was in charge of the
movement of trains in and out of
Montpelier and, with j. ?. Galleher, the
Montpelier agent, worked to get the
trains along as fast as possible. Mr.
Galleher worked until o'clock Sunday
morning and Mr. Sullivan until the
northbound night train departed about
IL o'clock Sunday morning, when he
went home on it.
The last train to come over the
Montpelier & Wells River railroad was
a train of eight milk cars which should
have gone north Saturday forenoon.
They laid at Wells River over night
and were pulled to Montpelier Sunday
afternoon by Boston & Maine engine,
Most of the trains that passed over
the Wells River road We're drawn by
two engines. The northbound night
sleeper Sunday morning arrived at
about 10 o'clock with two
engines. 1t got stalled in the snow in
the yard and engine 22l, which later
pulled the train of 10 cars on the Cen
tral Vermont, was used to push the
train back to clear a switch. This
train met the southbound night train
in Montpelier II was TO have met the
train at Lanesboro but the northbound
train was delayed~by the blizzard so
that when il reached Groton early
Sunday morning, the crew believed
they could not get up the hill n time.
Therefore. orders were obtained and
the northbound trainscame into Mont
pelier.
The southbound train reached Mont
pelier about o'clock but was unable
to get out of the yard until after 10
o'clock Because of the Use of engines
from the Wells River railroad it was
-hought that Central Vermont engines
would be needed to pull the train TO
Wells River, and five engines were ar
-anged for before finally two were att
.aehed to the train to pull il.
