Auburn Branch - Midland

---

   As previously announced, the Midland managers resumed control of the Auburn Branch on Monday, Supts. Grant and Goodrich, of the Utica, Ithaca & Elmira road, came over the road with two special trains on Sunday, and removed their stock from this and other stations east of Cortland.

   Conductor Shattuck takes his old place upon the Branch, with DeRuyter as his headquarters. He leaves that station at 7 a.m., arriving in Cortland at 8:15 a.m.; leaves Cortland at 9:35 a.m., arriving in Norwich at 12:45 p.m.; leaves Norwich at 3:15 p.m., reaching Cortland at 6:15 p.m., which station he leaves at 6:50 p.m., arriving in DeRuyter at 8:05 p.m. The only changes made in the time at this station, is the departure of the train fifteen minutes later in the afternoon than before. The U.I.&E. Company run their trains west of Cortland, to connect with the Branch trains.

   As soon as business will warrant, a special butter, cheese and stock express train will leave Cortland every Wednesday morning, at 5:30 o'clock, arriving at Norwich about nine o'clock, connecting here with the train for New York. This train will take butter, cheese, eggs, and stock for New York for all stations; freight arriving at about six o'clock the following morning.

   On the main line, Conductor Quick takes Shattuck's place on the mail to Middletown; Jud Baldwin succeeds Quick, on the Walton way; and Foote takes Baldwin's place on the way freight north. No changes as yet in the time table.
