TO GET RID OF ITS CURVES.
Baltimore and Ohio TO Abolish the
Seven Curves June Is.

The management Of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad for the past few
months has been spending a single
item of a quarter of million of dol
lars to get rid of an unenviable repu-
tation which has cost it in the past
years a fortune, and furnished many
stale jokes to a thousand variety actor
and third-class minstrel performers.
Il want to go to Europe said the
end man.
Take the Baltimore and Ohio" re-
piled the man in the middle, land you
will be just as seasick, and it's
cheaper"
Another of the aged jokes was:
why is the Baltimore and Ohia
like a crack baseball pitcher?"
Because of its hot curves" was the
reply.
Still another sample piece of star
wit perpetrated was like this: 81 want
tc go to New York the worst way"
tSTake the Baltimore and Ohio"
Seriously, however, the Baltimore
and Ohio acquired a wide reputation
for being a hard road to travel and
it all came from a strip of track less
than two miles long down in the
neighborhood Of Cherry Run, and
known as the seven curves"
And there were really seven curves.
all nice, sharp, reverse curves, without
an inch of straight track to relieve the
awful jolt passengers received as great
trains were whirled over these curves
at the rate of fifty to sixty miles an
hour. These curves gave the Balti-
more and Ohio the name of the "pretzel
route" among the drummers.
1t was safe enough to whirl the trains
over these curves at high speed, for the
track was in perfect condition, and
great heavy rails were laid on monster
sleepers imbedded in rock ballast care
fully kept in faultless shape. At night
the occupants of upper berths were
rolled out into the aisles, and before
they could catch their breaths the re-
bound would land them upstairs and
back in bed.
Those were great reverse curves.
On long trains the passengers could
look right through the middle coach
and see the engine on the far side,
while from a balloon view the twist
ed train would look like a snake in
dying agony.
Oscar G. Murray, the managing re-
ceiver, went over those seven curves
once, and VIII y he recovered engineers
were Immediately set at work prepar-
ing plans to abolish the famous seven
curves. In their place, now nearing
completion, is a monster open cutting
through the stony hills Of West Vir-
ginia, through which an air line water
grade track will be used in place of
the most crooked piece of railroad
track in the east.
Enginemen who once took fiendish
delight in letting the old machine out
and giving their trains a rapid whirl
when they struck those famous curves
will sigh for bygone pleasures in
few days more, and the evil reputation
which that nauseating piece of track
has fastened on the Baltimore and
Ohio will die in time.
