Georgetown seeks relief from railroad costs and routes
Georgetown merchants urge the new Shippers' Association to curb what they call unreasonable B and O Railroad abuse. They must haul freight across town to Eckington instead of direct shipment via Western Maryland and Metropolitan franchises. The first Ship Pers' Association meeting is set for 3 pm at American Security and Trust Company, with committees to cover Greater Washington boom areas. Baltimore merchants back Washington trade and prepare to defend themselves in a growing commercial dispute. Mr Carl Carey notes many young women could work in genteel shops if opportunities arise.

Washington Shippers' Association Formed To Boost Western Maryland Rail Access
The new Washington Shippers' Association aims to unify Georgetown merchants and manufacturers to press the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to activate western franchises. Officials argue completing cross-town freight lines would slash haul costs, open Western Maryland markets, and spur light manufacturing along the Potomac near Great Falls. The move follows years of stalled tracks and limited shippers’ leverage, with Congress extending railroad construction timelines seen as pivotal for local commerce.
Washington Merchants Seek Shippers' Association Benefits
