THE MOUNT MANSFIELD
ELECTRIC RAILROAD
(From the Waterbury Record)

Comparatively few people realize
just what the railroads and particularly
the smaller steam and electric roads
have been up against the past few
years. Take, for instance, the Mt.
Mansfield Electric Railroad. It's case
is not exceptional, but is of more in
terest, locally. The road was built in
1897 and since that time under summer
skies and through winter snow drifts
its cars have been running between Wa
terbury and Stowe, performing daily
service for the people of these COM
munities, which will be sadly missed if
it is discontinued.
From the start, the road has had a
struggle for existence Saddled with
an extensively operated steam plant
and financial nightmare in the shape
of seven-hundred-foot trestle at Wa
terbury Center, the road barely paid
operating expenses and went into re-
ownership in 1907 A year later it was
re-organized and in 1909 a contract was
made with the village of Morrisvilie for
electric current and the steam power
plant abandoned. Three or four fairly
prosperous years followed this change
and the 100000 debt, incurred in in
stalling the new power plant, was paid
Then came the influx of automobiles
and the result is shown in the figures
below. PASSENGER earnings:
