VIRGINIAN RAILWAY PUTS ON NIGHT TRAIN
------
A Night Passenger Train Between Norfolk and Charleston

The Virginian Railway has inaugurated night passenger train service between Norfolk and Charleston, West Virginia, via Roanoke, Va. The first train on this new schedule left Norfolk Sunday night at 11 o'clock, and there will in the future be a train every evening at that hour. Passengers arrive at Roanoke in time for breakfast, and through passengers are transferred to the observation and club cars which are operated on the western end of the trip. With the new arrangements, persons may attend the theatre in Norfolk before starting on their journey. The train is a great convenience to the traveling public.
