Book excerpt: Excerpt from Baltimore's Railroad Problem, 1917: Being a Report The increase of traffic has rendered the situation more serious for the Pennsylvania every year. And there has been no doubt for a decade or more, in the minds of those who have been watching the railroad situ ation, that sooner or later the Pennsylvania must find some relief, and also no doubt that it would be difficult to find that relief except by the securing of additional franchises from the city of Baltimore, additional rights from the State of Maryland, or both. While the general public does not seem to realize the fact, the situa tion is also unsatisfactory to the B. 0. While it is true that they approach the city from Washington with a two-track line and proceed northward to Philadelphia with a two-track line connected by a two track tunnel, known as the Belt Line Tunnel, they nevertheless have developed an extensive freight traffic over the old main line, and are con sequently operating four tracks in the southern part of the city. In addition to this they have, like the Pennsylvania, a large amount of traffic between points within the Baltimore territory, so that the con gestion in the Belt Line Tunnel, while not so severe as in the Fulton Tunnel, is nevertheless a serious problem to the B.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been the intention of the writer to present a brief history of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad from its inception in 1826 until its completion to Wheeling in January, 1853. The monograph has been designed as a study in the economics of transportation, and stress has been laid upon the influence of the railroad in the development of the industryand commerce of the city of Baltimore, and of the agricultural, mineral and manufacturing resources of the state of Maryland. The Baltimore and Ohio having been the first great through-route railroad projected in America, has naturally an important place in the regard of the student of transportation. The beginnings of some of the present difficult railroad problems appear in the history of this road, and these have not only been treated incidentally as they appeared in connection with the legislative, financial and mechanical history of the railroad, but have been summarized in the final chapter.

Download or read book The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in West Virginia written by Bob Withers and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2007-09-26 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1827, a group of Baltimore capitalists feared their city would be left out of the lucrative East Coast-to-Midwest trade that other eastern cities were developing; thus, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad was chartered. Political pressure kept the B&O out of Pennsylvania at first, and so track crews headed for what is now West Virginia, building mountainous routes with torturous grades to Wheeling and Parkersburg. Eventually the B&O financed and acquired a spiderweb of branch lines that covered much of the northern and central parts of the Mountain State. This book takes a close look at the line's locomotives, passenger and freight trains, structures, and, most importantly, its people who endeared their company to generations of travelers, shippers, and small Appalachian communities.
