state’s Secretary of

and urban voters to approve
Question 16, a state con

if approved, will in effect
allow the Maryland
Department of Tran

Transportation Trust funds
to repair and rehabilitate
eight rail freight lines on the
Eastern Shore and one in
Frederick County. .These
lines, which had been vir

defunct Penn Central, have
been essential to farmers

fuel, as well as for the out
shipment of farm products.
Speaking, on behalf of
agriculture, Hance says that
there are really no practical
alternatives to rail transport
and that unless the state can
act to save the affected lines,
farm production in the areas
involved can only suffer. In
turn, this will adversely
affect farm production and
have an unfavorable impact
on the consumer.

Federal government will
reimburse the state for such
expenditures!* Ultimately,
the solution will be to have a
solvent carrier acquire and
operate the rail network.
Efforts on the part of the
Southern Railroad to do this
have thus far failed.
