The "old reliable" Lake road is the first to put in operation steam heating apparatus in the railway cars of this state, thus doing away with the deadly car stove. The locomotive Mansfield, formerly the "Governor Fairbanks," has been fitted up with the necessary appliances for heating cars with steam and took its trial trip Thursday, the experiment proving everyway successful, the cars on the train being well and uniformly warmed. There has been a good deal of apathy shown by the railroads of the state relative to the adoption of some system of heating passenger cars, so much so that a meeting of the railroad managers, railroad commissioners and representatives of different steam heating systems has been called at White River Junction next Wednesday, with a view of thoroughly investigating matters pertaining thereto. After the Lake road solves the problem the best that the other roads of the state can do is to fall into line as promptly as may be.
