Possibilities Presented.

It runs through a country So well
known, and yet so little developed, &C
cordng to the projectors. that there
seems to be great possibilities for the
residents of the section which will be
served by the line. Bladensburg for
century has had no direct means of con-
nection with Washington except by the
old wagon road, which existed as a means
of traffic before the war of 1872. Not so
far from Washington, but visited by
thousands of persons. afoot and by car
riage. is Mount Olivet cemetery. The

CARS TO BLADENSBURG
OLD TOWN CONNECTED BY RAIL
WITH WASHINGTON.
Four Miles of Track-Noteworthy
Features of Interest Along
the Line.

Within a few days. it is stated, the
first car over the new route to Bladens-
burg-the Washington. Spa Spring and
Greta railroad-will start from the Wash
ington terminal at 18th and FL streets
northeast. and spin northward to the old
Maryland town made famous by history
a century old. A full equipment of sum
mer cars" has been provided.
The new road is not remarkable for It's
length as there is a scant four miles of
track at an outside estimate, but there
are several features to the line which,
it is declared. will appeal to street car
travellers. One of them is the heavy
roadbed and the substantial rails. This
means nothing to the ordinary person,
but it results in a perfectly smooth pass
age. There will be none of the bumpety-
bump style of travel on the road, accord
ing to the contractor.
