Last Train Saturday

Thereafter Rochester Branch of R., W.& O. Will Be a Freight Road
On Saturday of this week the last passenger train will be operated on the Rochester branch of the R.,W.& O. under the present arrantement. After that date the branch will be used only for freight trains, which will not make any stops between Windsor Beach and Rochester.
Beginning with Sunday all R.,W.& O. passenger trains will enter Rochester over the Charlotte branch of the New York Central, passengers from the west changing cars at Charlotte. Passengers on local trains from the east will not change cars, as the trains will be run direct into Rochester, making a stop at Center Park and the Central Avenue station.
The name R., W. & O. soon is to disappear. In a short time the northern road will be called the St. Lawrence division of the New York Central, with headquarters at Watertown, and the road from Oswego west the Ontario Division, with headquarters in Oswego.
