Freight rail relief for Frederick firms debated by ICC
The Interstate Commerce Commission ruled Frederick freight conditions are a relic of earlier railroading and urged correction but cannot force railroads to install physical connections. The decision sides with shippers easing switching and interline access, though it finds no proof of Western Maryland control over the Frederick Railroad. The ruling notes potential freight savings for local industries and compares routes via Baltimore and Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Western Maryland lines.

Public Service Board to hear Maryland case on rail connections
Albert Brown, attorney for shippers, says the ruling mostly favors the shippers but grants no physical connection rights yet. He advocates appealing to the Interstate Commerce Commission, not the Maryland Public Service Commission, arguing intrastate scope. The Baltimore and York Railway charter of 1826 is cited about connecting lines within the state. Brown spoke at length before the Interstate Commerce Commission.
