H ENRY ALBERT ORRICK, only son of Captain Johnson and Margaret A. (Cookes) Orrick, was born in Morgan county, W. Va., September 21, 1857. He is one of the most prominent bankers in Baltimore, and since 1903 has been president of the Balti- more Stock Exchange. He is a member of the Society of Colonial Wars of Maryland, and the Maryland, Merchants', Country, Elkridge Fox and Green Spring Valley Hunt Clubs. He is also a director in the Merchants' Trust and Deposit Company and the United Railways and Electric Company. He is public-spirited and an important factor in the progression and upbuilding of Baltimore. He married Martha Burroughs Levering. Children-Louisa Wright, Johnson, Henry Albert, Jr., and William De Courcy Wright.
The Orrick family in this country are descendants of the good old Scotch family of the county of Fife, Scotland. The name is said to have had its origin in the rock upon that part of the Fife coast upon which the estate lay. The original Orrick estate in Fife, which was erected into a barony in the seventeenth century, was eventually sold, and the lands in Aberdeenshire acquired, to which the name Orrick was given. These lands are still in the possession of the family. The Orricks who came to this country brought with them their Scottish traits of thrift and energy, became possessed of large estates in their new home and large number of slaves, and were counted among the wealthiest planters of the country. They intermarried with the Wash- ingtons, Hammonds and other families of settlers, who were also large planters.
A RTHUR W. THOMPSON, third vice-president of the Baltimore and Ohio-Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton System, was born
May 8, 1875, at Erie, Pa. He was graduated from Allegheny College, Meadville, Pa., in 1897, and entered railway service in 1898, as a rodman in the engineering department of the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroad. He entered the service of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail- road in 1899 as assistant engineer of surveys, and became assistant engineer at Pittsburgh in 1900. In 1901 he was promoted to division engineer at Cumberland, Md., returning in 1902 to Pittsburgh as division engineer. He was promoted to division superintendent at Cumberland in 1903, and was transferred to Wheeling in the same capacity in 1904. His next promotion was to the office of chief engi- neer of maintenance of way, and continued in such capacity until April, 1910, when he became chief engineer of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. In December, 1910, Mr. Thompson was promoted to general manager, and was promoted to third vice-president of the Baltimore and Ohio-Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton System on April 11, 1912, which office he has held to the present time.

HE magnificent courage, broad vision and sound judgment with which the public-spirited citizens of Baltimore undertook the con- struction of a railroad from the Patapsco to the Ohio River are reflected in the great Baltimore and Ohio System of railroad lines which now supports the City and Port of Baltimore that gave it birth.
With its 5500 miles of lines, 2500 modern powerful locomotives and 100,- 000 freight cars, there is indeed a contrast which the Baltimore and Ohio Rail- road Company of today presents with the little railroad which in 1827 was begun to connect Baltimore with the territory west of the Allegheny Mountains.
GENERAL OFFICE BUILDING, BALTIMORE.
From the inception of this railroad, which at the end of the first year had been extended a distance of 13 miles to Ellicott's Mills, Maryland, has grown one of the leading trunk line systems of transportation in the world, reaching practically every industrial center in the Middle Atlantic States between the Atlantic Seaboard at Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York and the Great Lakes and Mississippi River at Chicago and St. Louis, respectively.
The local railroad company also established the commercial supremacy of Baltimore as a trade center, with its vast facilities for handling home com- merce as well as export and import trade. One of the most striking examples of this is the fact that last year Baltimore attained the distinction of being the second largest grain port of the nation, there having been 42,330,313 bushels of grain handled at the port of Baltimore during 1912.
A volume devoted to the development of the State of Maryland by its foremost citizens and leading business interests would be incomplete indeed unless reference were made to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company. No other enterprise has had a more wholesome influence upon the promotion of Maryland's best interests and the advancement of its economic welfare than has the State's leading railroad and business corporation.
Spanning the epochs in the development of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail- road Company brings the present generation of Marylanders abreast with one of the country's foremost transportation systems. From a few hundred miles
144
of tracks a generation ago, the company has grown until it is classed as one of the leading railroad corporations. The total earnings for the fiscal year, which ended June 30, 1913, amounted to $103,329,992, the largest in the history of the company. These enormous earnings are cleared largely through Balti- more banks.
In addition to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company's 4434 miles of line, there has come recently under the same administration and control the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Railway Company, with 1015 miles of line. The Baltimore and Ohio Company's operations extend into twelve States and run directly from the Atlantic ports of New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore to the great points of interchange with the West and Southwest at Chicago and St. Louis, the intervening main line and branches reaching directly prac- tically all of the great commercial and industrial centers of the East and Central West.
Early realizing the hopes and expectations of the community by placing Baltimore in direct communication with the Ohio River, every extension of the Baltimore and Ohio System has brought into closer touch with Maryland and Baltimore these great industrial centers.
In addition to this general interchange of commerce, the operations of the Company have been most beneficial to the material welfare of the State of Maryland and the City of Baltimore. The Company has its administrative offices in Baltimore, where its policies are fashioned and the results of its operations cleared.
The expansion of the Baltimore and Ohio System has been most beneficial to the material welfare of the State of Maryland. The most extensive termi- nals of the Company are in Maryland, where millions of dollars are expended annually for materials and supplies of all kinds and in meeting the pay-rolls of employes. Of the 65,000 employes of the Company, about 20,000 are en- gaged in service in the State of Maryland. The pay-roll disbursements in Mary- land approximate $1,000,000 monthly.
Ten thousand men are employed in Baltimore and the monthly pay-roll totals about $600,000.
Modern terminals are operated at Baltimore, Cumberland and Brunswick. The facilities in Baltimore include two commodious passenger stations- Camden and Mount Royal; export and import terminals at Locust Point and Curtis Bay ; Mount Clare and Riverside shops, Camden warehouse and freight yards, fruit and produce terminal, etc.
The Locust Point terminals are the largest on the Atlantic Seaboard. At Locust Point millions of tons of freight are imported and exported an- nually. Thousands of immigrants seeking new homes in America land at Locust Point each year. Locust Point covers a mile of waterfront. The terminals are situated directly behind historie Fort McHenry, on the left side of the harbor entering the port of Baltimore. Locust Point is well appointed, having a system of spacious docks, large freight and coal piers and mammoth grain elevators. There are 11 piers in the terminals, 9 of these being open and 2 covered. Two grain elevators and two coal piers are embraced in the terminals. The floor space in the freight piers at Locust Point aggregates 738,- 700 square feet. Pier 8 is the largest in the terminals, being 1000 feet by 140 feet in dimensions, two stories high and with a floor area of 235,358 square
145
-
feet. The pier is equipped with the Telpherage system for handling freight on the platforms, the system being a series of overhead tracks on which carriers handle freight about the pier. The system is operated by electricity. Twenty of these carriers are in use, 10 of them being of 4-ton capacity and 10 of 2-ton capacity.
Eight lines now make regular sailing's from the Locust Point terminals, six to foreign ports and two plying along the coast. The foreign lines are the North German Lloyd to Bremen, Johnson Line to Liverpool, Donaldson Line to Glasgow, Red Star Line to Antwerp, Havre and London; Scandinavian Line to Scandinavian ports and the Holland-American Line to Rotterdam. Two American lines, the Merchants and Miners' Transportation Company and the Baltimore-Texas Line, dock their vessels at Locust Point. Eighteen hundred workmen are employed at Loenst Point.
COAL PIER, CURTIS BAY.
At Curtis Bay the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad operates its largest coal terminal. Export shipments through the port of Baltimore are loaded at Curtis Bay, which is the largest and one of the best equipped terminals on the Atlantic Coast. The world's record for loading a vessel with a cargo of coal is held by the Curtis Bay terminals. Several records were established at Curtis Bay within a year, and November 23, 1912. the collier Newton was loaded in 3 hours and 45 minutes.
The Mount Clare shops of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, at Baltimore, are among the largest in the world. The rebuilding of locomotives and cars and the principal repair work of the railroad's equipment is done at Mount Clare, where 2500 skilled mechanics and other workmen are employed.
The Baltimore and Ohio System operates large terminals at Cumberland, in Western Maryland, and the activities of the railroad in that section of the State have been responsible in large measure for the general development that has been accomplished. Cumberland is the division headquarters of the Cum- berland division, and is geographically the "throat" of the Baltimore and Ohio System. The "Queen City" is the point of divergence of the two main lines of the Baltimore and Ohio, one of which proceeds northward towards Pittsburgh and Chicago and the other takes a southwesterly direction towards Cincinnati
140
and St. Louis. These lines pass through the soft coal region and the gas coal region of Southern Pennsylvania and West Virginia, respectively, and the vast tonnage from these regions as well as the traffic from manufacturing, indus- trial and agricultural sections beyond pass through Cumberland. Cumberland is also an interchange point for the Baltimore and Ohio with the Western Maryland and the Cumberland and Pennsylvania railroads. Only recently the Baltimore and Ohio increased its facilities materially at Cumberland by en- larging its freight yards, shops and constructing a modern freight station.
The number of freight cars handled in and out of Cumberland averages 5000 a day. These cars require about 100 trains. In addition, some 40 pas- senger trains arrive at, and depart from, Cumberland each day.
At Brunswick the Baltimore and Ohio System operates its principal east- ern terminal for the classification of carload shipments of freight. The yard at Brunswick is 5 miles long and has a capacity of 7302 cars.
The original line of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to Wheeling was a single-track road and its construction through the mountainous country pre- sented many engineering problems. The science of engineering was largely in the experimental stage in those early days, so in pushing the construction work across the mountains it became necessary to follow the course of least resistance. The single-track line when built was wholly adequate to handle the business, but the growth of commerce and industrial development of the country taxed the facilities beyond capacity. Betterments were made when finances would permit, tracks were added and larger terminals were provided, until a large percentage of the main line mileage within the State was double track.
Even these facilities became inadequate to handle the traffic and it was urgent that enlargement be made. On January 15, 1910, President Daniel Willard assumed charge of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and before two weeks lad elapsed a committee of West Virginia citizens visited the chief ex- ecutive of the railroad to urge that additional facilities be provided. Mr. Wil- lard gave the shippers assurance that their request would be complied with. He outlined to them a program of improvements which would increase the hauling capacity of the railroad by 50 per cent., including the construction of a third track on the mountain slopes to prevent congestion and the purchase of new cars and locomotives. The promises of President Willard have been fulfilled and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is well equipped to handle with dispatch the traffic offered to its rails.
The transformation accomplished on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in so short a time has been marvelous and has attracted widespread attention of the shipping public and the railroad world. The construction of third and fourth tracks involved the relocation of line, reduction of grades, elimination of tunnels, construction of substantial bridges capable of handling the heaviest of trains, the purchase of locomotives of the most powerful type, freight cars of maximum capacity and modern passenger equipment.
