PIoportions-Work to Be
gin Soon.

BALTIMORE. Oct 1.-THE Pennsyl-

two important works of great interest
60 Baltimore.
The first is the construction OF new
union station. This is TO be built upon
the present site. but on much larger
and more comprehensive scale.
Imposing Entrances.
1t will not only have an imposing en-
trance from Charles Street. but viii
have an approach from St. Paul Street
The main reception room for the pub
lie VIII be on a level with Charles

fees and other public features. Offices
for the officials at this station viii be
supplied iu the building. The restau-
rant which viii be a feature. viii be
on the main floor. The baggage, package
room etc. VIII be in the lower story
The abandonment OF the present dam
gerous system Of passengers having 10
cross tracks To get ON and TO leave
trains viii be "a notable improvement
piled TO reach the platforms on the
track level.
Freight Line Around City.
The second important work to be UNI
dertaken is the construction of a freight
line around the city. The purpose is to
build a bell railroad around the city, 80
that freight trains viii not have to pass
through Union Station. This line viii
connect the Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington Railroad east OF Baltimore
with the same road south OF Baltimore
without passing through either the
Union or Baltimore and Potomac tun-
uels.
This line viii aIso sform connection
with the Northern Central Railroad, dl-
vertiug from the main line at some Gls-
lance north OF the city. so that the large
| interchange of freight traffic between
the Northern Central and the FhllaQel-
phia Baltimore and Washington lines
/ for Washington and the South can be
made without passing through the Bal
/ timOre and Potomac tunnel
/ In like manner the freight traf1c or
/ the Northern Central 10 and from the
! tideWater terminus at Canton VIII be
moved around the city without passing
/ through the Union railroad tunnel
Calvert Station Next.
With these two works undertaken,
/ there remains but one more thing for
