From the Richmond Daily Dispatch
 
January 18, 1862
  
Important Railway connection
   The House of Delegates has passed a bill to authorize a connection between the Orange & Alexandria and Manassas Gap Railroads, and the Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac Railroad. This connection has been urged as a military necessity, and the Commanding Generals of the Army of the Potomac cordially approve the schemes. It is now before the appropriate committee of the Senate, and will probably pass unanimously, at an early period.
