SHORT RAIL ROUTE
TO BOWIE SOUGHT
Pennsylvania Asks Permission to
Purchase Gravel Company
Trackage.

In an effort to provide q shorter
route to the Bowie Race Track, both
from Washington and the East in gen.
eral, the Pennsylvania Railroad applied
to the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion today for permission to purchase
trackage owned by the Massaponax
Sand & Gravel Co. Of Prince Georges
County. Md.
The plant has a line lat miles in
length about half mile from Arundel,
which the Pennsylvania would tie into
both Its main line and its present
trackage at Bowie.
Concurrently, the Pennsylvania asked
permission to abandon the old route
into the track by way Of Odenton,
which it purchased some time ago
from the Washington. Baltimore &
Annapolis Electric Railway Co.
The Pennsylvania explained in its
application that it had attempted un-
successfully to buy the industrial track
before. The new routing proposed will
provide better service and can be op-
Grated at less cost than Is at present
possible. the road says.
The application explains that por-
ton of its former W.. B. 81 A. holdings
at Naval Academy Junction is to be
retained for failure industrial develop
ment. Over Ne rest Of the line In.
tended to be Abandoned. however, the
tracks viii be removed.
