SEPTEMBER 23. 1922. NEW TRADE TRAIN INTO AMERICUS FULLY ASSURED ■ i Central Os Georgia Will Inaugu rate New Passenger Service On Columbus Division Oct. 2 A change in passenger sched ules on the. Columbus division c»f I the Central of Georgia railway, , without interfering with present freight schedules on the division, was practically assured Americus merchants by representatives of the Central who were in the city 1 today. i Ths announcement was made to < The Times-Recorder by Tom Wade, divi.-ion passenger agent, who was | accompanied by ('. Baldwin, superin- i tendent of the Columbus division, and j S. C. Har’-is, district passenger , I agent-. “We are anxious to give you folks better passenger schedules between Columbus and Americus,’’ Mr. Wade said. “Now we are running mixed | trains, that is a train made up of freight and passenger ears. O,u ■ plans are t'o maintain the present freight schedules, but to drop the passenger cars. “On October 2 we expect to begin limning a train of passenger eats i only, the train leaving Columbus at 8:45 a. in., arriving at Americus at about 11 a. m. This train will then leave Americps at about 3:15 p. m., arriving bacll in Columbus at about 5:15 p. m. 'Wn .se ehttngcs will make it po.-mble fX the Ccht-ral to give Americus urApoints between Ameri eus'ahd Columbus bettor freight and passenger service. “The change must go before the state Public Service commission for it- permission before the change can be made,’’ said Mr. Wade. The change as announced by the- Central representatives, will be id the material advantage of Americus merchants, and to all those on this i division desiring to -visit Americus for business or other purposes. It means that the people of Buena Vis-' ta, Ellaville, La Crosse Doyle, Put nam and other points on the line can leave home about !):30 in the morn ing, at rive in Americus at 11 a. m. Shop until 3:15 and arrive back home before 4:30 or 5:00 p. ni. The trains i will cover the distance very much more rapidly than now, because no freights will be taken on or put- off. The handling of freights will be i more efficient because of the fact I that train crews will not be compelled to care for the passenger service nor to observe a close schedule. The change is very much' to the advantage of this entire section con tingent to the Columbus division of the Central of Georgia railway.
