Provides Faster Service
North & South; Stops,
Warsaw & Goldsboro
By A. J. Cavenaugh
Sunday, December 5th, the At
lantic Coast Line Railroad Com
pany put into service a new train
operating between Wilmington and
Rocky Mount daily. This is a fast
train with only two stop3 between ,
Wilmington and .Rocky Mount,
namely, Warsaw and Goldsboro,
making connections at Rocky
Mount with fast trains .for all
points North and South.
The people of this entire section
of the country are very fortunate
to have the traveling accomoda
tions that this fast train will pro
vide. Heretofore, our people have
been handicapped in traveling.
Now, we really have a main line
train coming through our midst.
The present schedule is that this
train comes througn Warsaw at
11:26 A.M. and in one hour and
sixteen minutes arrives in Wil
mington, then at 4:41 P.M. this
train returns and arrivens at
Rocky Mount 1 hour and 59 min
utes later, making connections
with trains for New York and in
termediary points, and for all
points south over the main line
of the Coast line.
This new schedule does not in
terfere with the present train
service that we now enjoy. The
Mail and Shufly still make their
north and south trips dally, taking
care of all points along the road
With the advent of this new
service, Warsaw has strengthened
her claim to be the cross roads of
this part of the state. Two daily
trains north, one daily fast train
north, two local daily trains south,
and one daily fast train south,
thirty, four bus schedules daily,
operated by the Grey Hound lines
and the Queen City and Carolina
lines, each lin connecting with
the other in Warsaw, with sched
ules south to Wilmington, Char-
W-J2 s
North schedules to Richmond,
nd New York and
Raleigh, Durham, Winston-Salem
East schedules to Jacksonville,
N. C, Morehead City, Camp Le
June, Charlotte, Lumberton and
connecting with Atlanta and all
mints westL
The traveling public will be
greatly benefited in both time and
convienience by using the services
of the trains and busses that op
erate under the above schedules ,
and the people of Warsaw will be
very grateful 'to have you board
one of these transportation lines
in Warsaw.
