Electric railroads are extending and likely
to become an important link in the rapid
transit enterprises of the country. Lines are
projected between Washington and Baltimore,
and from the latter place to Sparrow's Point
and Lutherville, and an air line road to An
napolis and Bay Ridge.In Frederick county,
a road from Frederick city to the Middletown
Valley, also Il twelve mile road northward via
Meyersville, Boonesboro and Keedysville into
Catoctin Valley. Also a road from Middle
town to Brunswick, down the valley to the
main line of the Baltimore and Ohio. A
fourth line to Hagerstown will complete this
system of roads traversing one of the most
fertile regions of the State. If the forty mile
road between Baltimore and Washington be
practicable and profitable, there is no reason
why the system should not be extended to
greater distances. A line of twenty eight
miles, between Westminster and Baltimore,
has occasionally been talked of. and is be-
lieved to be among the possibilities of the
future Part ofithas been built, out to Pixies
Vile, and will soon be built to Reisterstown.
If such line should ever be constructed, it
would not stop here, but go on to connect by
the most direct route with the Pennsylvania
system of railroads.
