During the year the road was completed from a
point near Homeland Station to Baldwin Station,
20 miles from Baltimore; A comfortable depot
building has been erected at the Baltimore terlni-
Gulford, Woodbrook and Long Green Stations,
and pavilion rs by 100 feet, with the necessary
ny's excursion grounds at Loeb Raven. The
road was opened to business from Baltimore to
Towson April Is, and to Baldwin December 25-
Since the road has been in operation has earned
S240S1l7, and for the six months ended Decem-
Der 81 it carried d. passengers on all classes of
tickets. The equipment of the road is four loco
motives of approved build. Is passenger coaches,
90 gondolas, 10 box seven flat and four push-cars
This Is ample for the present, but in the early
spring ut least one more locomotive and an addi-
tOnal number of freight cars will be needed
Until October 10 the work of building was car
ried on directly by the company. Then a con
tract was made with McCabe Bros. for the com.
petion of the road to Forest Hill. 1t is believed
Fallston will be reached in April, and Bel Air in
May next. Beyond that the work will be pushed
as rapidly as circumstances, will allow, with Q
view of completing the road to junction with
the York and Peachbottom Road at Delta during
the present year Enough of steel rails are on
hand to complete the road to Forest Hill, to-
gether with many Thousand crossties and other
material paid for OF the S2i e8T. II earned by the
road SCI ,300.iG was from passenger traffic alone
leaving as earnings from freight and rents al
Loeb Raven $2,TsG7l. The small freight receipts
were owing to the short line of road operated, fol
the average distance did not exceed 10 miles,
Now, however, that point has been reached be.
tween which and this city a farmer cannot con.
veniently make a round trip in day with his
team, it is believed a rapid and permanent in.
crease in the freight earnings will take place.

year, as follows: VIM. II. Waters president
