The Paint and Powder Club performers leave for Fairmont.

“President Murray, of the Baltimore and Ohio R.R., through his assistant, Mr. Geo. M. Shriver, has tendered to the committee free transportation and special cars, leaving Baltimore…Sunday night on No. 3 and arriving in Fairmont, Monday. Returning, leaving Fairmont on No. 14, Tuesday.” (FWV 01.02.08 pg. 5)
Instructions have been given to “division superintendents along the line of route to instruct their forces to do everything possible to make the trip pleasant, to even putting on extra air on the curves and not bantering loud words with passing crews as that tends to make the ‘girls’ hysterical and unfit for work.” (FWV 01.02.08 pg. 5)
