SAND PATCH TUNNEL TO GO.
Baltimore and Ohio to Make Improve
ment That VIII Cost $4,000, 900.

Following an inspection of the main
line and the Sand Patch tunnel by
high officials of the Baltimore & Ohio,
it was stated that the company will
begin work early next spring on main
line Improvements that will mean an
expenditure of about $4,000, 900. Plans
for this work which are in the hands
of high officials in Baltimore, call for
the elimination Of the famous Sand
Patch tunnel by constructing a new
road through that section of the coun-
try.
The Ba' timore G Ohio has a traffic
agreement with the Wabash, where
by all the e~astbound tonnage of the
Gould lines Is routed over that road to
the Western Maryland. During the
last year the amount of freight turn
ed over to the Baltimore & Ohio by
the Gould roads has been almost
doubled, and eastbound tonnage over
the main line east from Pittsburg has
reached such proportions that the inn
proyenents are said to have become
an absolute necessity.
It is also stated that the Baltimore
& Ohio and Wabash, jointly, will make
costly Improvements at Bruceton, near
Pittsburg, where all freight between
these Two roads Is i~nterchanged. I'm
til a year or so ago the transfer of
freight was made at Toledo, but under
the new arrangement the Gould lines
get a much longer haul.
Transcontinental Business.
The B. & o. is actively pushing
ahead for transcontinental business,
and is ~endeavoring to make an air line
as far as possible between Baltimore
or tidewater and via Ptttsburg and
Chicago, to the great vest. 1t will
reduce the handicap OF time ON its
through passenger business and en-
abe it to operate fast freights in
competition with other roads.
It is opening up a new section Of the
country which will increase both its
freight and passenger traffic. The
company has already had a route sur
veyed between Pittsbucg and Union
town. Pa. This short cut will be "a
miles in length and will be from the
West Virginia territory to get the
West Virginia coal to tidewater and
viii effect a saving OF from 40 TO so
miles.
