The Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Electric Railway (WB&A) was an American railroad of central Maryland and Washington, D.C., built in the 19th and 20th century. The WB&A absorbed two older railroads, the Annapolis and Elk Ridge Railroad and the Baltimore & Annapolis Short Line, and added its own electric streetcar line between Baltimore and Washington. It was built by a group of Cleveland, Ohio, electric railway entrepreneurs to serve as a high-speed, showpiece line using the most advanced technology of the time. It served Washington, Baltimore, and Annapolis, Maryland, for 27 years before the "Great Depression" and the rise of the automobile forced an end to passenger service during the economic pressures of the 1930s "Depression" southwest to Washington from Baltimore & west from A

rdfs:comment	ワシントン・ボルチモア・アンド・アナポリス電鉄(Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Electric Railway、WB&A)とはかつてアメリカのメリーランド州中央部とワシントンD.C.に路線を展開した鉄道会社で、19世紀から20世紀にかけて建設された。WB&Aは前身となる二つの鉄道会社であるアナポリス・アンド・エルク・リッジ鉄道とボルチモア・アンド・アナポリス・ショート・ラインを合併し、さらにボルチモアとワシントンの間の路面電車線を路線網に加えた。路線網は当時最も進んだ技術を用い、高速で見本となるような鉄道路線の建設を目指していた電鉄起業家であるオハイオ州のクリーブランドの集団によって構築された。ワシントンとボルチモア、そしてメリーランド州のアナポリスに路線網を伸ばしていたが、27年後の世界恐慌や自家用車の使用の増加などにより1935年に旅客輸送を終えることを余儀なくされた。ボルチモア・アンド・アナポリス鉄道(Baltimore and Annapolis Railroad)となった区間のみその後も営業を続けていた。今日ではその軌道敷地の一部はライトレールや遊歩道、道路などに用いられている。 (ja) The Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Electric Railway (WB&A) was an American railroad of central Maryland and Washington, D.C., built in the 19th and 20th century.
