 We think that our new and faster schedule will be a great Improvement
 between Birmingham and Atlanta" said MT TayIoe We have had good service between the two cities for a long time
 but this will make good conditions bet ter
 "I think that the fast trains will be l great Improvement and a wonderful convenience to the travelling public. They | will place Birmingham just about 50
 minutes closer to Atlanta and the east.
 and they will be operated at much more
 convenient hours for the public.
 I've have worked hard arranging t3lis
 schedule and great deal of the credit for securing the new trains is due to
 MT. Richey, our assistant general su- perintendent, who has urged the im-
 proved schedule for some time. We think that the business out of Birmingham will
 warrant this additional service and the
 business has improved So much in the
 past few years that we believe 1t will
 continue to do so.
 Our express trains will be 36 and 3s to Atlanta, and 35 and 37 from Atlanta.

 ham at 915 D. m., trip of hours, and
