Pennsy to Continue Steamer Lines to Eastern Shore
The Interstate Commerce Commission granted a petition to extend the order divorcing the Pennsylvania Railroad from its Bay boats securing a continuance of Baltimore and Eastern Shore steamship service. The decision, with an indefinite suspension, preserves the link crucial for trade with Eastern Shore points and stops the immediate effect of a potential shutdown. The ruling also touched Western Shore lines not covered by the order and kept the Love Point and Calvert lines in service.
