Baltimore and Ohio completes major 1914 improvements
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad completed a record 1914 program costing about 100 million dollars, including a three and four track system over the Alleghenies, reduced grades, new cars and engines, and enlarged terminals. The Magnolia cut off between Little Cacapon and Orlean y Road, W Va, shortened miles and cut costs. The company also bought 50 freight locomotives and rebuilt 4,000 box cars, reaching 82 percent steel equipment. Toward year end, Mount Clare shops to reopen. Erdman act suits filed in Hagerstown. Gray discusses Baltimore terminal upgrades and Port Covington grain elevator plans.
