Excerpt from Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the Stockholders of the Sunbury and Erie Railroad Company: Held February 12, 1855, With Reports of the Managers and Chief Engineer The means of transporting the large amount of business offering, have not been as yet fully supplied. Additional cars will, however, be very shortly procured, and every means be provided to secure the full advantages of this great avenue of trade now opened to our citizens. Arrangements have already been made to run daily express trains of passenger cars from Philadelphia to the Falls of Niagara, Detroit, and Chicago, commencing on the first of April next. Passengers leaving here in the morning, will arrive at the Falls early the same evening, where the trains will connect with those on the Great Western Rail road through Canada for Detroit, and thence by the Michigan Central Road for Chicago, arriving at the latter city in thirty-four hours from the time of leaving Philadelphia.
