At what time does the train pass the little white cottage each day?

In the second paragraph of the short story "The Far and the Near" by Thomas Wolfe, the author states that the train passes the white cottage everyday at a few minutes before two in the afternoon.
In the opening paragraph, the author makes a point of stating just how peaceful the white cottage was at any other time of the day. As he writes, with a tidy garden on one side of it and three huge oak trees before it, "the whole place had an air of tidiness, thrift, and modest comfort." So when the train "swept past with a powerful swaying motion of the engine" and the engineer blew his whistle, it provided a welcome rush of energy. At this moment, the mother and daughter, no matter the weather, stepped out onto the back porch and waved to him.
The engineer, who the author states had seen many horrors on the track during his 20 years as a driver, regards the sight of the two women as the happinest moment of his day. When he finally retires, he decides that he must go to their house and thank them for their kindness.
Having never seen the actually centre of the town, he immediately feels disappointed that the houses have none of the splendour of the white cottage. Nevertheless, he walks on and knocks on the cottage door. "And instantly, with a sense of bitter loss and grief, he was sorry he had come." The woman he had seen everyday for twenty years had grown old and bitter. She invites him into the house, but he wishes she hadn't, and he spends an uncomfortable time chatting to the mother and daughter "while the two women stared at him with a dull, bewildered hostility, a sullen, timorous restraint."
At the end of the visit, he decides he is no longer the young, brave, confident man he used to be.
