To Change the Western Maryland-Ex-
tensive improvements Contemplated:-n
has been known for some time that the West
ern Maryland Railroad Company had in con-
temptation extensive Improvements on its line,
the first section to be changed being between
Baltimore and Glyndon. The first important
alteration will be made at Arlington. Begin
ming about the three mile post, east of Airing
ton. the new tracks will be in cut one and .
quarter miles long and at the deepest point 40
feet below the surface of the ground and "a
feet below the present tracks. To straighten
the line the new location will be south of the
existing tracks from beginning of the cut 90
Bucks lane, where the new line will cross to
the north of the present road.
This cut will do away with the grade cross
ing of the United Railways north of Garrison
avenue, and at Garrison and Levin avenues the
change will also be made from grade to over
head crossings.
After leaving Bucks lane there will be a
succession of cuts and fills until the revised
line strikes the present roadbed again at Mount
Hope. From Mount Hope 10 Sudbrook there
will be practically no changes. just east of
Sudbrook the grade of the track will be lower
ed and lust west of it the new line will pass
north of the present roadbed and will not again
rest on it for more than few feet until Mount
Wilson is reached.
Between Pikesville and Sudbrook Stations
the new line will be about 200 feet north of the
present roadbed at the greatest distance and
will pass north of the station at Pikesville in
stead of south of it. At Mount Wilson the
new track will be on about the same location
and grade as the present rails.
The new line will be great improvement
over the old one at McDonogh. Here severe
reverse curve will be taken out by swinging

ones behind the abandoned quarry, which will
be filed.
At Green Spring Junction the new line will
strike across the bottom south OF the present
location, the greatest distance being 500 feet
from the present tracks. This will shorten
the line $50 feet and eliminate TAO of curva-
ture.
Here the maximum grade against west
bound traffic after leaving the heavy grade
from Fulton to Arlington is struck. This will
be 8 per cent and although this per cent. will
be lightened more or less the line will be up
grade from this point to Glyndon. The maxi.
mum is reached again at couple of points
east OF Glyndon. West of Dover road, Glyn-
don, the maximum eastbOund grade of a per
cent. will be struck and will continue to Emory
Grove.
The actual revision of the line at Owings'
Mills has not yet been decided upon. 1t is in
tended TO do away with the grade crossing of
the Reisterstown pike and the United Railways
and to eliminate something like 1902 or more
of curvature. But whether this will be done
by throwing the line south of the present loca-
tion and passing above the pike and trolley cars
or by putting it north of the present track and
going under the pike by heavy cut has not
yet been determined There are some severe
reverse curves west of the station which it is
desirable to eliminate. but the topography of
the ground and the location of the buildings of
the United Railways at that point make 1t
difficnlf nrnh.em to solve.
