B&O Reduces Freight Rates Amid Drought Plight
Amid drought and crop failure, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad cuts freight charges five cents per 100 pounds on grain and hay from this area to Chicago. Local shippers note a drop from 27 to 22 cents, hoping the measure signals solidarity against economic neglect and the push for a competing line like the West Virginia and Pennsylvania Railroad. Col. Moore of the B&O aided the relief effort, though some blame remains for regional neglect.
