| We alluded in our last to a change of
schedule, by which the Central cars {North
Carolina RR} left the depot, in this City, so soon after the
arrival of the Gaston train as to afford insufficient time for the
transfer of passengers and baggage. We have since conversed with Mr.
Sumner, the Superintendent of the Central Road, on the subject, who
informs us that the change in his schedule is as follows: The Eastern
train formerly reached here fifty-five minutes after four P. M., and
left twenty-five minutes after five. Now, it reaches here thirty
minutes after four, and leaves twenty minutes after five; being
twenty-five minutes earlier than formerly, and leaving five minutes
sooner than formerly. The {Raleigh &} Gaston
train, we believe, is due five minutes before five. If up to time,
this would leave twenty-five minutes for changing from train to train.
This would seem to be ample time. Mr. Sumner informs us that he
directed the trains to pass each other at Camp Mangun, in order, among
other things, to avoid the confusion and crowd of trains at the
Raleigh depot. We trust the two roads will so act as to afford the
greatest accommodation possible to the traveling public. |
