An Electric Line by Way of Sandy
Spring.-The Montgomery Improvement
and Construction Company of Baltimore
has, it is understood, completed arrange
ments for building what is called the Balti
more and Washington Transit Company'i
suburban railway, which is designed to open
up rich agricultural country between
Washington and Baltimore.
1t is stated by those in charge of the en-.
terprise that work will be begun soon, and
that earnest efforts will be made TO push
the improvement, so that it will be ready fol
opening to the public by April next.
The Baltimore and Washington Transit
Suburban Railway Company was incorpor.
ated about two years ago under the laws Of
Maryland, for the purpose of building a
railway line TO be operated by either steam
or electricity, from 1akoma Park to the
city of Baltimore via Sandy Spring, Md,
1t is announced as the intention Of the
managers not to attempt to build all the
way to Baltimore before opening the line
to the public, but to first construct and
equip that section which lies between Ia
koma Park and Sligo creek, in Prince
Georges county, and to the northwest
branch of the Potomac river near Burnt
Mills, in Montgomery county.
Entrance to the city will be over the lines
of the Brightwood electric railway to 9Th
street and Florida avenue northwest, from
which point almost every portion of Wash
ington can be reached with ease, through
rapid transit lines. a
The route for the part first to be built is
from T, koma Park by way of the Soldiers
Home road to Carroll avenue, to Ethan AL
len avenue, and thence to Sligo creek, where
H. Of l,a WochinutAD division
will be located.
The plans as marked out comprise an ex'
tensive system of improvements at this ter
minus. A tract of land OF about seventy
six acres has been purchased, and this is &c
re subdivided.
The entire line, it is said, will be well
and substantially built Between Sandy
Spring and Washington it will be double
track, and while the remainder will be sin.
gle track it will have many long sidings
The roadway will be standard gauge, laid
with seventy pound steel rails on oak ties
resting on twelve inches of stone iounda
ton. For motive power the company will
take advantage of the latest development in
electrical propulsion - Wash. Star
