NP, RSTD 1/21/1863

From the Raleigh Standard
 
January 21, 1863
 
   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.
