G.T.R. construction, betterments, etc.
Central Vermont Ry.—During 1910 the company reballasted 15.9 miles of its lines in Canada, and laid new 80-lb. steel on 12.4 miles in Vermont.
The application of the New York, New Haven and Connecticut Rd. to the Vermont State Legislature for certain powers at Brattleboro, has been modified considerably, and the C.V.R. will continue to have possession of the terminal facilities there. The Legislature has passed the bill granting incorporation to the Southern Vermont Ry., authorizing the building of a line from Brattleboro to Windsor, and to arrange for the use of the Rutland Rd. terminals at Bellows Falls. The Southern Vermont Ry. will connect with the lines proposed to be built in Massachusetts and Rhode Island by the Southern New England Ry.
Press reports state that the G.T.R., which controls the C.V.R., has given instructions to proceed with the building of the lines above mentioned.
The line to be built in connection with the Southern New England Ry. part of the project will start at Palmer. Mass., and extend to Providence, R.I. The final location on the water front at Providence has not, press reports state, been finally decided on. The reports state that all surveys have been completed, that construction will be started at once, and the line be completed in two years.
