Excerpt from The Railroad and Engineering Journal, 1890, Vol. 64 Baltimore, a place which has been selected because it is east of the junctions of all the branches and connecting lines of the system. The general distribution of freight, both east and west - bound, will be made here, and the yard, which will be arranged in the best manner, will be the central point for making all freight trains. This will greatly relieve the yards in and near Baltimore, and will take the distribution of freight entirely out of the city. The second improvement will be by the construction of what is known as the Baltimore Belt Railroad, which will start from a point near Camden Station, thence by a double-track tunnel under the city to Jones' Falls, and thence to the eastern boundary of the city. It will con hect the main line with the Philadelphia Division of the road without the present inconvenient transfer, and will enable both freight and passenger trains to be carried through and around the city without delay. It is under stood also that it will serve as a connection with the West ern Maryland and the Maryland Central Railroads, and with a large union station at a point much more convenient than the present Camden Station will be.
