Annapolis Locomotiveless.

It is somewhat anomalous that An
napolis, the decadent capital of Mary
land, should be the first place in the
United States of any consequence
completely to Danish the locomotive.
No one can longer approach that city
by either of its railroad connections
with the world behind a steam loco
motive. The boy of Annapolis who
wants to see this ponderous machine
will, in the near future, have to go
some miles away from there to do
it, perhaps most conveniently to Bal
timore, which is twenty-eight miles
away.
Annapolis has two railroad outlets.
The earlier road, striking inland due
west, taps the Baltimore and Ohio at
Annapolis Junction, about midway
between Baltimore and Washington.
In the old days few trains a day each
way prowled over this course, making
only Indifferent connections with Bal
timore and Washington, since the
steam roads did not care to bring
their expresses to a dead stop TO PICK
up the little business that came from
Annapolis. Now this spur track from
Annapolis over to the trunk line has
virtually been turned into trolley
road, over which freight, as we'll as
passengers, is carried by electricity.
The only use that is now making of
locomotive is for repair purposes, one
engine being kept in the terminal
roundhouse for such emergency SER
vices. Near the Odenton end of the
spur the road connects with the reg
ular Baltimore and Washington troll
ley line, thereby bringing Annapolis
into direct electric connection with
either of these two cities.-Boston
