Courts stop removal of railroad tracks to Navy Yard
Chief Justice Clabaugh granted a temporary injunction against the Philadelphia Baltimore and Washington Railway Company preventing removal of tracks to the Washington Navy Yard. District Attorney Baker, aided by Secretary Metcalf, argued that tearing up the tracks would damage government operations to the navy yard proving station at Indian Head and other government facilities.
