To Ocean View, Old Point, and More
folk.

The large crowds which the Chesa.
peake and Ohio railroad are carrying 10
the seashore attest the popularity OF this
route.
The time to Ocean View via Chesa.
peake and Ohio is one hour quicker than
other lines. the time being two and q
half hours from Richmond to Ocean
View via Old Point. The rate is also
cheaper being but 81 20 either Old Point,
Ocean View, or Norfolk. A ride on the
fast yestibule train, leaving Richmond
every Sunday, from Sixteenth and
Broad-street station. Is a comfort and
luxury, making no stops and landing you
at the seaside in two hours.
These trains are run by the Chesapeake
and Ohio Company. which insures q
patron against oyercrowding.
