Fate of the MD, DE and VA Railway prospects brighten

The Maryland Delaware and Virginia Railway fate shows renewed hope after a two hour Public Service Commission meeting with N W Smith of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Plans discussed include using the MD, DE and VA line Love Point to Venton to connect with Oxford branch to Clayton Del and Hillsboro, linking to Easton and Salisbury Ocean City. A second plan avoids abandoning the Claiborne Easton line for freight, with passenger service largely replaced by buses. A sale to E B Leaf Co. remains possible, with no service discontinuance until a plan is settled, and a meeting before June 5 to review details. If kept, West Denton may be the line terminus unless Denton residents back the Choptank bridge.
