From the Cortland Standard of Cortland, NY
Tuesday, May 19, 1874

   A new time table on the Midland went into effect on Thursday last, between Cortland and Norwich. It is about as inconvenient as could be well devised, and must still further lessen the passenger traffic on the road. Train leaves Cortland for Norwich at 7 a.m. Arrives at Norwich at 10:15 a.m. Returning leaves Norwich at 5:40 p.m. Arrives at Cortland at 8:55 p.m. The train from the east is generally behind time and does not infrequently reach here until long after the time set down. This arrangement of the trains seems to be made entirely in the interest of Norwich, without the least reference to the interests of the road.
