Sunday Excursions Halted Leaving Winchester Hung Up
A slump in Sunday excursions by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has left Winchester residents unable to return from Baltimore and Washington at the one dollar fare. No new trips have been announced for four weeks out of Winchester nor for two weeks into the city, amid speculation the cheap Sunday trips were abandoned for higher revenue. The pause inconveniences travelers and may reflect overtaxed rolling stock and shifts in railroad policy.
