As reported July 20, 1887, in The Sun:

A survey has been made by the B. and O. Railroad Company from the Washington Branch to the Village of Savage, a distance of two miles with a view of building a track to connect with the latter place. The matter has been in contemplation for some time, and has been an interesting object of conjecture to the Messrs. Baldwin, owners of Savage and the operators of extensive cotton factories at that place.

The raw material, as well as their manufactured goods has heretofore been conveyed in wagons and great inconvenience has been experienced, especially in the winter season. It is contemplated, as soon as track is finished to Savage, to extend it to Guilford Factory, on the Little Patuxent river, a few miles west of the former place, where there is also a cotton mill owned by Mr. James A. Gary.
