...finest palace cars that run out of Boston starts from Boston at 1 o'clock in the afternoon and reaches White River Junction about half-past four. To go from White River Junction to Hanover, a distance of three miles by carriage road, requires a half-hour's ride in the cars and a stage ride of five minutes. At White River Junction there is a good hotel; at Hanover there is also one, but not as good. Is a railway ride of four hours all told, all but half an hour of it in an express train and palace...
