Newport Daily Independent.
VOLUME IV. NEWPORT, ARKANSAS. THURSDAY. DECEMBER, i 1904. ' NUMBER 186.
;NEW SCHEDULE
NOW EFFECTIVE.
TWo World's Fair Trains Are
Dropped and Times of Sev
eral Others Are Slightly
Altered.
The new schedule went into
effect on the main line of the
Iron Mountain at 12:01 p. m.
Thursday, whereby two world's
fair trains are dropped from the
service. The discontinued trains
are Nos. 8 and 21, but to take
the place oi the former No. 20
will be run as a local train, pass
ing Newport at 12:43 p. m. No.
21, which has been run as the
second section of No. 5, leaving
St. Louis at 8:40 p. m., is no
longer thought necessary.
Nos. 11 and 12 will hereafter
carry a Pullman and the sleeper
on the latter train will be carried
into St. Louis by No. 10 off the
Memphis branch.
_ The most noteworthy change
is in No. 2’s time; that train will
now pass Little Rock at 11:35 p.
m. and Newport at 2:05 a. m.
This nrnhahlv means that the
morning Little Rock paper will
not reach here until 10:40 a. m.,
and even that train, No. 4, is not
scheduled for a stop here, though
it will probably be made.
No. 12 will pass Newport 14
minutes later, or at 9:02 p.m.,
®ow leaving Little Rock at 5:40
p. m.
Of the south bound trains,
none are changed except No. 17,
now passing at 4:00 a. m. and
No. 5 to 4:45 a. m.
None of the branch trains were
changed and the local freights
are run upon the same schedule,
excepting that the south local
leaves one hour earlier, or 7:00
a. m., and the north local at 12:10
p. m.
The new schedule is published
in this issue.
