Others Join Campaign To Keep Passenger Trains Running
Two more congressmen, a Republican and a Democrat and two chambers of commerce in Ohio cities have joined the campaign to keep the ChicagoWashington passenger traiins running on the B & O route which serves .Syracuse. The trains are threatened in the changeover May 1 from operation of the trains by the railroad to their operation by the new National Railroad Passenger Corporation. The new corporation is under pressure to reroute the trains, now serving Syracuse. Nappanee. LaPaz and Garrett in Indiana, to one of two Penn Central routes vja Waterloo and South Bend, or Fort Wayne and Plymouth. Rep. Delbert Latta, R-Ohio. and John Seiberling, D-Ohio, have both become involved because their districts would lose their passenger trains should a change be made, according to Wiley (Bi|l) Spurgeon, r 1 Syracuse. In Washington Spurgeon met in Washington last Friday with Seiberling, and learned that the representative had been in touch with both the board of incorporators of the new corporation, and the Ohio Public Utilities Commission, which regulates railroads in that state, concerning the problem. Seiberling told Spurgeon that Akron, a city of nearly 300.000 in a metropolitan area of one million would be left without passenger train service if the WashingtonChicago trains were rerouted off the B & O lines west of Pittsburg. Seiberling and his administrative assistant, Don Mansfield, told Spurgeon they would be in touch with Rep. John Brademas and Rep. J. Edwin Roush of Indiana concerning the impact of such a move on the Indiana communities involved, and would also contact Rep. Harley O. Staggers, West Virginia Democrat and chairman of the House Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee concerning the problem. Staggers last week indicated interest in the situation because his district would also be without intercity trains to the west should the B & O routing not be used from Washington to Pittsburgh. Staggers was one of the key people in getting the legislation setting up the National Railroad Passenger Corporation passed. Rep. Latta, of Bowling Green, 0., represents that state’s fifth district in Congress, and has written to the new corporation urging that trains be continued on the B & O route because of their importance to Deshler, Defiance, Fostoria, Tiffin, Findlay, and Bowling Green, all major cities in his district. Petitions Petitions similar to ones being passed in Syracuse by Margaret Freeman. Merl Smith, Byron Connolly, Lou Craig, Jack Vanderford, and Kay and Kent Hare have already been forwarded to the National Railroad
Passenger Corporation by the chambers of commerce in Deshler and Willard. Ohio. Spurgeon said that in his session with Rep. Seiberling. it was pointed out that according to statistics available from the Department of Transportation, about 55 per cent of the passengers currently using the Baltimore and Ohio Capitol Limited out of Washington are destined to points other than Chicago along the B & O route. “To reroute this train, then, over the PC lines,” Spurgeon said, “would mean that as of May 1 it would lose some 55 per cent of its potential customers.” Spurgeon noted that the new Railpax system is supposed to eventually run at a profit, and has been considered only for minimal starting appropriations by Congress. “We hope the incorporators, in fulfilling their obligation to give better train service to the end points designated to be served by the Department of Transportation, will consider the very sizeable market existing already at intermediate points by comparison. The end points could be served on the B & O route as well, or better, than on the PC system, and the intermediate travel that is already there could also be retained. New marketing practices — and the simple knowledge that the service was to continue for a number of years — could build additional revenues on top of that,” Spurgeon added. Petitions are still available at the Mail-Journal office for those who have not signed. Spurgeon urged both groups and individuals who are interested to also write directly to the incorporators of Railpax: Board of Incorporators, David W. Kendall. Chairman, National Railroad Passenger Corporation. 955 L’Enfant Plaza. Washington, D. C.
