The plan to build steam railroad from
Washington to Gettysburg, to be known as
the Washington, Westminster and Gettysburg
Steam Railway. begins to assume such pro-
nortions as to indicate that the projectors
mean to push it to completion.
1t is backed, we understand, by important
railroad influences and large amount OF cap
ital. The road will be run to Gettysburg. and
make connections with other points, it is
stated, and will be carried eventually to and
beyond York Springs, this county. Our read
ers will be reminded that not long since a com
pany was formed to construct a road from
Gettysburg to York Springs, and it is believed
that there is a connection between that COM
pany and those who are planning the Wash
ington, Westminster Il Gettysburg road.
