   At the same meeting of the Council, a communication was received from H. D. Whitcomb, Superintendent of the Virginia Central Railroad, asking permission to use the temporary track on Broad street to haul forty freight cars and five passenger cars from the Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac Railroad Depot to the Central road. The freight cars are to be used exclusively in hauling produce to Richmond. The Superintendent wished to connect the track crossing the streets on condition that the same be taken away as soon as the cars are removed. Permission was granted.
