Rail Commuters Start
Move for Stops Near
Pentagon, Agriculture

A group of Maryland-to- Washing
ton railroad commuters has
launched a move to secure a IA
mile extension of commuter train
service from Union Station south to
Rosslyn, Va.
The group, according to Whitney
w. Irons of Seabrook, Md, its
spokesman, seeks to have Pennsyl-
vania and Baltimore & Ohio COM
muter trains run to stops convenient
to such Government buildings as
the Agriculture Department and the
Pentagon.
Questionnaires are being distrib-
uted to train passengers asking
which of six proposed new stations
they would use, if the new service
were provided. OF 240 question
naires completed so far, about 40
per cent show interest in the plan,
he said. All were from Pennsyl-
Vania riders.
The new stations suggested would
be at Fourth, Seventh, Twelfth and
Jul OSSllUlA olACCIo ~ w lllC TCll-
tagon and Rosslyn. Trains would
use existing tracks, Mr.. Irons said
These tracks now carry through pas
senger and freight traffic south
bound from Union Station over the
Fourteenth street bridge.
The only B. g. o. service south of
the station. heWever, is freight. The
tracks are owned by the Pennsylva-
mia Railroad
The extension move is a revival
of efforts made over a long period
to augment service for Maryland
commuters. Pennsylvania officials
declined to comment on the plan
except to say that it had been
under careful study" for some
time.
