Extension Beyond Bluemont.


Even more comprehensive than this,
however, the plans of the Washington
and Old Dominion railway are said to
contemplate an extension Of the line
beyond Bluemont to Winchester and
Harpers Ferry and connection made with
lines to the west. The present end of
the Bluemont division, which now be-
comes. part of the Washington and
Old Dominion railway, is at Bluemont
and from that point the distance is not
more than fifteen miles to Harpers Ferry,
while an equal distance separates Blue
mont from Winchester. The first con-
sideration of the company, of course.
will be to complete the connecting link
between the Bluemont branch and the
line of the Washington and Great Falls
Railway Company, but Immediately
stood. the engineers of the company will
proceed on the surveys for the extensions
to Winchester and to Harpers Ferry.
Electrification' of Line.
According to the terms Its charter.
the Washington and Old Dominion rail-
way may operate its lines by either
electricity or steam, but it's present
plans contemplate the electrification of
the entire system. When the main
line to Bluemont is completed and the
extensions also are in operation Wash
ington will be the terminus of one of
the most important s. electric railways
in this section OF theiAtlantic- seaboard.
In the petition filed yesterday in the
Alexandria county circuit court it is set
forth that the railway. company, which.
under it's charter. has the right to
construct a passenger and freight rail-
road through the state of Virginia
and into West, Virginia, requires the
land for the purpose of bringing the
Bluemont-. branch through a point
known as .Torrison, near Falls Church.
