Western MdryiaHd RdRroad-The
Baltimore Gazette of Friday says, the
speedy opening of the Western Mary
land Railroad to Mcchauic~burg prom.
ises to give new development to
most important region Of our State, and
to demonstrate the fact that local
road, run for local traffic, through a
fertile portion of Maryland, carries with
it the germs Of its own prosperity
Wherever there is a station along the
road there are marks of thrift and enter.
prise, and, without being sanguiue, it
is easy to predict for this new route an
amount of traffic after the first of Jan.
uary which will do much towards put.
ting its credit on a footing which its
earnings will show is deserved Already
the travel on the road is tenfold what
was anticipated by many Men who
came to Baltimore once in five years
alone, now come several times year,
with their families, and much produce
that was wagoned over common roads is
now delivered at the different railroad
depots. At Mechanicstown, point
will be struck where there is a large
country population aud much thriving
business. This will add greatly TO the
life Of the road, aud bring to it trade
aud travel from the counties to the
city, beueGiting them aud aiding as
1t is indeed very evident that at no
distant day the Western Maryland will
be regarded as the pioneer local road OF
the western portion Of the State, and
that its success will SO establish the
necessity OF other roads Of like des-
criptiou, that the Maryland Central aud
the roads through the southern counties
will at once fnd means, from private
subscriptions, to complete the works
already projected. The Western Mary.
land Road is now proceeding most sat.
isiactorily, under an effective manage.
ment. During the winter all the heavy
work will be completed, and by July it
will be open to Hagerstown. What its
future may be, as coal road aud
through route, We do not attempt to
predict. 1t is enough now to be as
sured that even as local road it is
one OF great Importance to city and
State.
