VIZ DEMuR-By the present train service,
no point west of York Road Station has the
advantage of business trip to Baltimore
without remaining over night. Four hours
and fifty minutes IN which to so from and
to the train, get your dinner and transact
business is simply insufficient. We do not
enjoy the benefit of reduced round trip fares,
that is accorded Union Bridge and all point,
east and to pay three and one half dollars
fare and then have at hest three and onc.haf
hours in which to do business Is not to be
thought Of.
When the w. NJ. company took off the
summer trains, it put on one to accommodate
Ladicsburg, Wnodsroro, Walkcrsvillc and
Frederick on the Frederick Division of the
Pennsylvania railroad.
This road has not been known to spread
its tracks in IN cndeayor to- ACCOMMODATE the
w. NJ, in fact it has not been two weeks
since we were at Fred rick Junction, when
the train on the p. X. Il. gon. north would
not wait for our afternoon tram, some min.
utes late, and when the latter arrived there
was a lady on board that had expected to &c,
on that p. r. r. train.
Just why these stations on the p. r. II.
should have tram that arrives in Baltimore
at $40 a. M, and leaves the city ut 5:15 p.
NJ, and Double Pipe Creek, Rocky Ridge,
Logs, Gracchnm, Mcchamcstown, Mottcrs
and Emmitshury be deprived of it, when the
round trip run would be less than twenty
miles additional, is past understanding.
Union Bridge has three more trains than
we have we are at the foot of the grade and
are shut out from fast trains going west,
but that argument must he amended if it is
to apply to all three OF these trains going
east: in word, we have a right to insist up
on one of those three trains starting from
this point and that one should be the Fred.
errk Accommodation. 1t may not pay the
company to run that traiu those twenty
miles, but those same stations are valuable
feeders to other passenger trains and in the
matter of excursion aud freight trains num-
Der among the good points ON the road and
Oh these grounds have right to expect that
there be more equal distribution of ia
vors in the way Of train facilities.
There is an engine house and Y here and
Mechanicstown is good enough for railroad
people to accept rs their home let the man,
agenent put on an early train regularly and
| let the train men undels' and that 1t will be
permanent they can rent houses reasonably
here and one of Union Bridges Accommo-
dations can stop with us.
We are but cchoing the sentiments Of lead
ing business men whom we have interviewed
at every point from Double Pipe Creek tc
Mechanicstown and are but doing our duty
to the people who support US and who look
to us to yentiate matters of local importance
We want that train, Mr.. Hood, and We
want 1t badly.
