Designs of other Lines on Richmond,
fredericksburg and Potomac.
Philadelphia, March 29.-The Record to-
morrow will say:
1t was practically admitted by Penn
sylvania Railroad official yesterday that
a project is on foot to make an open
gateway of the Richmond, Fredericks-
burg and Potomac Railroad between the
North and South. To what extent the
Pennsylvania is interested in the project
or just how it is to be brought about,
they decline to say, stating that the mat
ter is not ready to be talked about
The Seaboard Air Line, which recently
secured a charter from the Virginia Leg
islature to build line from Richmond
to Washington there to connect with the
Baltimore and Ohio to the North, 1t Is
understood somewhat active in bringing
about such a project, as in the event or
its successful elimination, the building
of over 100 miles of railroad practically
paraileling the Richmond Fredericksburg
and Potomac could be avoided.
Whether the plan is for all the railroads
inter-ohanging traffic between the North
and the South, namely, the Pennsylvania,
Atlantic Coast Line, Seaboard Air Line,
Southern and Baltimore and Ohio to Sc
cure a community of interest in the Rich
mond, Fredericksburg and Potomac, or
whether the scheme is to secure a gem
eral traffic agreement with equal rights
to all, can only, as yet, be conjectured.
Whatever the project, however, it cam
not be carried through successfully with
out reckoning with the Pennsylvania Rail-
road This company is in possession of an
important traffic agreement with the Rich
mond, Fredericksburg and Potomac, and
also controls the Washington Southern,
over which connection is made for the
South az Washington.
