James M. Coleman Goes to Montreal to
Take Responsible Position.
St. Albans, Feb. 8. James M. Cole
man, for the past five years master
ear builder of the Central Vermont Pvail
way Co., has resigned his position and
will go to Montreal either the latter
part of the present week or the first
of next week to take the general super
intendence of the large car manufactur
ing plant recently established in that
city. The new plant has been built with
the primary object of supplying the
needs of the Grand Trunk Railway sys
tem and has already received an order
for 25,000 cars from that corporation.
It ia probable that the offices of
master car builder and superintendent
of motive power of the Central Vermont
Railway Co. will be combined and the
duties of both ollices placed in the
hands of A. Buchanan, Jr., the present
superintendent of motive power.
