Western Maryland considers ending passenger service after stockholders meet
In Baltimore on April 15 stockholders of the Western Maryland Railway discussed abandoning all passenger service between Cumberland and Baltimore as a move under consideration by the Public Service Commission. President W Arthur Grotz said savings could reach 438000 a year by cutting passenger trains while commuter service to Baltimore suburbs may not be profitable with new light diesel cars. The meeting approved absorbing the Cumberland and Pennsylvania Railroad and reelecting the current board amid long running capital stock debates. Eighty two percent of voting stock was represented, a record. Grotz noted substantial diesel savings alongside coal freight, reporting 1952 gross operating revenue of 47559385 and net income of 3575000, with first quarter 1953 profits higher than 1952.
