A freight train numbering about
seventy-four loaded cars, arrived at the depot of the Va. &
Tennessee railroad, in this city, from the West, yesterday evening.
This is the largest train ever received here. |

{The longest train I have seen
mentioned before is 24 cars. I assume this report is of 74 UNloaded
cars or the train had 2 or 3(?) locomotives} |
