The Montpelier and Wells River engine No. 6, the Arthur Tandy, was first known as the Tramp after it arrived second hand on November 17, 1890. The locomotive ran in suburban service from 1890 to 1913. It met a sad end when it was used to fill a washout under Route 100 near Stockbridge, Vermont, after the 1927 flood. Besides regular passenger service between Barre and Montpelier, the M. and W.R. made tourist excursions to Barre’s granite quarries, Owl’s Head, and Groton Pond. The M. and W.R. engine house and repair shop, still in existence today, include a long, gable roof repair shop in the background dating from around 1885, an adjacent flat roof engine house in the center built in 1907 after a similar structure burned, and a 1907 turntable for rotating engines south of these buildings.
