<DIV align=left> </DIV>
<DIV align=left> Train No. 4, which left this city Monday
several hours late as a result of a slide between Naugatuck and Kermit, made a
record run from Bluefield to Norfolk. The schedule between this city and
Norfolk is faster than any schedule the road has ever had between these points
before and passenger trains are supposed to make the trip of 363 miles in ten
hours and thirty-five minutes. No. 4 Monday made the run in nine hours and
five minutes, or one hour and thirty minutes faster than schedule. When
the train left Bluefield it carried a mail car, baggage car, two coaches, a
dining car and two Pullmans. On arrival at Roanoke it was trimmed until it
had nothing left but the mail and baggage cars and a coach. With this
light load no stops were made except at Lynchburg and Petersburg, the train
pulling into Norfolk as a special mail train which carried one passenger, who
was going to Norfolk.</DIV>
