Book excerpt: Excerpt from Baltimore's Railroad Problem, 1917: Being a Report The increase of traffic has rendered the situation more serious for the Pennsylvania every year. And there has been no doubt for a decade or more, in the minds of those who have been watching the railroad situ ation, that sooner or later the Pennsylvania must find some relief, and also no doubt that it would be difficult to find that relief except by the securing of additional franchises from the city of Baltimore, additional rights from the State of Maryland, or both. While the general public does not seem to realize the fact, the situa tion is also unsatisfactory to the B. 0. While it is true that they approach the city from Washington with a two-track line and proceed northward to Philadelphia with a two-track line connected by a two track tunnel, known as the Belt Line Tunnel, they nevertheless have developed an extensive freight traffic over the old main line, and are con sequently operating four tracks in the southern part of the city. In addition to this they have, like the Pennsylvania, a large amount of traffic between points within the Baltimore territory, so that the con gestion in the Belt Line Tunnel, while not so severe as in the Fulton Tunnel, is nevertheless a serious problem to the B.
