Railroad Extension.

Railroad Extension.
II was said today that as soon as the
Old Dominion Railroad completes its
lines to Great Falls. engineers are to be
put to work to extend the lines as far
into Virginia as Winchester. and proba-
bly, farther. The Old Dominion is in
possession of the last blanket fran
chise" issued by the Virginia Legisla-
turc. Franchises must now be con-
fined to one county, and separate
franchises must be obtained for every
country through which "a railroad
passes unless under a special law.
Under the Old Dominion franchinse.
howevsr. the company can build in all
parts Of Virginia, running lines from
Washington 20 Norfolk or South TO the
CaroHnas.
II was probably the possession Of this
franchise which gave groUnd for the
rumor that the Goulds intended to enter
Washington by the Great Falls right Of
way. 1t would have been an easy
matter for the Wabash 20 have made
any connections it desired in West Viz
giuia to reach the city by this route
The officers OF The Old Dominion. how
ever. deny that the GoulGs have ever
negotiated for the right Of way. or have
even conferred with the officers of the
company on the subject. 1t was also
said by The officer i'm question that
while the company might allow the Wa
bash 10 use it's right of way. the Wa
bash could not buy the Old Dominion.
The property was not for sale. The
officer said. however. that there was NO
reason why the company should not con
struct four tracks and allow the Wa
bash to- use two Of them. The Wabash,
however. would have 20 stop at Aquc-
duct Bridge, or go on farther down the
Virginia side and come into Washing
ton over the new Long Bridge, which
the law says. the PENNSYLVANIA must
open 90 all railroads desiring TO enter
1he National Capital.
BY this means the Wabash could get
a route into the Union Station. The
Old Dominion officers. however, think
the Goulds. If they ever should desire
To get under the trolley companys wing
would DO better 10 build their station
somewhere in Georgetown. In the mean
time the officers of the Old Dominion
are convinced of the utility Of their
cross-town line. and arc certain the peo-
pie are going 10 sustain them in their
efforts 10 build il. The only real oppo-
sition they are now meeting with Is
that OF the other railroads. which is to
be- expected.

The coal congestion continues around
