Buckhannon and Northern Railroad Not Sold to B and O
Charles Morris of the Buckhannon and Northern disputes rumors that the Baltimore and Ohio Company owns or controls the Buckhannon and Northern. He states the B and N is controlled by its own directors and stockholders, with the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie as the only external influence. He says plans to build from Belington to Pittsburgh are imminent and predicts no cooperative arrangement with B and O. Meanwhile, a contractor says work on the road’s right of way will begin soon and orders will be issued to assemble crews.
