The Wichita city eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1872-1883, 1881-05-26

New and Important changes in the time
schedule Of the Baltimsrc ( Ohio company
into eject On The IA. peomises to be greeted
with very decided favor BY the people
throughout the entire west. Very radical inn
provements have Of late been perfected in
the track and management Of the road and
now that everything Is IN order for making
remarkably fast time, the new schedule is
announced, and from this time on things
will fairly hum on the old line. The time
from Chicago to New York Il very materially
lessened, As the train which formerly lett
there at 4,O5. win, vi der the new schedule
leave at 5:I5. All the leading eastern lines
have through express trains for the east leav-
ing at this hour, and the b. & O. with its
splendid facilities and unequalicd advantages
in reaching Washington, arrives in that city
a full night in advance Of the Sis trains ON
competing roads, or, in other words, pas<en-
gers leaving on the b. 4 0. arrive at Wash
ington next evening. while by taking the 5:l5
trains Of other lines, the National Capital is
not reached until the second morning. An
other very striking advantage possessed by
the Baltimore and Ohio road is, that it is the
only line from Chicago running solid trains
through to Washington, Baltimore, Philadel-
phia and New York. As the trains are made
up here, so they 60 through, there being no
change Of ears Of any class whatever. To
those who do not take sleeping cars for the
entire journey but who make themselves
comfortable in the regular coaches, the alb
sence of all changes cannot but be exceed
ingly grateful. The regular coaches are Of
the very finest description, being Of the Ia
test pattern and supplied with every possible
convenience. Thousands OF tons OF steel
rails have been laid. and the motive power
has been largely augmented by number Of
new and yer. powerful engines. La short,
the u. L. D. is today without superior in
offering first ctsss facilities to the travelling
public, and ut the same time remains the
model fast line Of the country. The new pal
ace sleeping ears continue to call forth the
undi ,suiscd admiration Of the travelling pub
lie. They are so spacious and so elegantly
appointed as to afford the greatest possible
comfort while travelling, and certainly no
sleeping ear line in the country has more af-
fable and accommodating conductors and pOr-
tiers. The parlor cars just placed upon the
line are beyond all question the finest being
built in this country, or for that matter, amy
other country. They arc different in several
re poets from the stereotyped style Of parlor
ears, being more spacious and more luxuri-
Gus. The dining car line from Chicago is,
ike everything else on the u. Il q , of the
very best, the meals served being worthy of
comparison with those Of the best hotels in
the country. Auniform price ofseyenty-ii,e |
cents per meal is charged, and the guest has |
placed before him mena embracing the d.
nest and best that the market affords. |
The time from New York to Chicago has |
been lessened an hour, the through train be-
ing due at 7:3O instead Of $50 as before. |
There is no material change in tie time of
the morning train.
