The express train from the west, due
here at 7.15 p. M, did not arrive last
Friday night until about nine O'Clock.
The delay was caused by waiting for the
B. & l.. train two hours at Cambridge
Junction and then the train on this road
came along without connecting with it,
as it was held at Essex Junction several
hours, because of the accident on the |
Central at Mortified. Several passengers
from Burlington and other points for |
places along this line we're kept at Essex |
Junction four hours before being told |
that the train on this road was not going |
to wait. To be sure there are times when |
delays cannot be avoided, but to keep |
passengers four hours without informing |
them that there would be no opportunity |
of reaching their destination, is not right. !
