Abandoned Trolley Line To Jefferson Authorized
Potomac Edison directors at the Francis Scott Key Hotel authorized abandoning the 3.22 mile Jefferson trolley line from Vin Dobona Hotel Braddock Heights to Jefferson and referred the action to the Public Service Commission for approval. They discussed selling copper overhead wires and steel tracks for about $8,000 to aid war efforts, noting a sharp postwar planning focus on rural electrification and appliance sales while bus service faces cuts and reduced mileage due to wartime gas conservation.
