Regulations of the Panama Railroad.

The regular trains are dispatched daily, Sundays excepted, from Aspinwall to Panama and from Panama to Aspinwall, as per time-table annexed:

Besides these regular trains, special trains are always employed whenever the services can not be adequately performed by the regular trains. There are often as many as five and six in number daily for weeks together.

Steamer Trains.—On the arrival of passenger steam-ships at Aspinwall, special trains are dispatched at any hour, so soon as the passengers are landed, provided for the connecting steam-ship immediately on the arrival of the trains. This arrangement has been made solely with a view of affording to the passenger the greatest degree of comfort and convenience consistent with dispatch. To those unacquainted with the cause, it may sometimes appear that time is unnecessarily lost: the Company only consults the interest of the passenger in this respect, and no detention is allowed beyond what is absolutely necessary. On the arrival of passenger steam-ships at Panama, the trains are dispatched for Aspinwall immediately on the landing of the passengers, who here step from the steamer directly into cars with detention.
