AS FIRST RAILROAD
Officials Hark Back to 1897 as
Charter Date in Dispute With
Pennsylvania Line.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, October 1.-THE
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad was
chartered February %, 1927. 1t was
the first railroad to get under way
as the result of it's charter. There
fore it was the first railroad. Fur
thermore, quoting from Lincoln.
calling a Sleeps tail a leg don't
make it a leg"
This is the answer officials Of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad made in
defense of it's long undisputed con-
tention that it is the Oldest railroad
in the United States. The answ ar
was directed at a statement recently
issued by a Pennsylvania Railroad
Company official, claiming that the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company was
chartered March 81, 1928, and that
money was spent and work begun
on the project that year"
This does not convince Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad officials that their
competitor is an older road. They
point out the charter under which
the Pennsylvania Railroad now is
operating was granted In 1886. They
say the only work done in 1928 was
a small amount Of surveying.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company, on the other hand. laid
the cornerstone Of it's road at Car
rollton, July 4. 1928. and began build
ing Immediately. BY 1880 the road
was completed to Frederick, a dis
tance of 81 miles, and in that wear
locomotives began running over the
line.
