Three Baltimore trucking firms petitioned the Civil Aeronautics Board to oppose the Baltimore and Annapolis Railroad plan to run a helicopter service between Washington and New York with stops at Annapolis and other cities. The truckers argue the existing service is sufficient and warn against another carrier without full consideration of impact.
