A Brief History of Milfor Mill, Maryland
Route #67 could be considered by many to be Baltimore's "X-Files" line. No schedules were ever printed for this service for public distribution. No system maps show the operation of the line. In fact, there have been some followers of the Baltimore Transit scene who have steadfastly denied that the route operated at all. However, despite its obscurity, route #67 did exist, in fact operating for over a decade, to a regular group of riders who tended to enjoy their little secret.
The story of the #67 line starts in fact with a railroad line - the Western Maryland to be exact. In the Spring of 1957, the WM decided to eliminate its commuter service from the Northwest suburbs into Hillen Station. Astute riders of this service got together in search of alternate transportation to Downtown. The result was the #67 line. By June of 1957, the charter operation was in full swing, with a contingency of 44 passengers, splitting a bill of just over $20 per day to cover the cost of this regular "Charter" operation.
Initially, route #67 (or the Sudbrook Charter as it was sometimes referred) was set up to leave Belvedere Division at 7:00am each morning. From there, it would deadhead to the WM Sudbook Station on Howard Road. Picking up a group of commuters there at 7:20, it would then proceed to head east on Milford Mill Road to collect a second group of commuters at the Howardsville Station. Then it would proceed non-stop along Milford Mill, Reisterstown, Druid Hill, Centre, and St. Paul, to discharge passengers at Saratoga Street. From there, the signs were to be set "NOT IN SERVICE" and the coach would continue south on St. Paul and Light to Redwood, dropping off patrons at regular stops along the way. Then, the coach would deadhead back to Belvedere.
For the return trip, the coach would board patrons at St. Paul and Pleasant, before heading off non-stop at 5:20pm, along St. Paul, Saratoga, Paca, McCulloh, Reisterstown Road, and Milford Mill to make the stops at both the WM stations. Upon arrival at Sudbrook, the bus would deadhead back to Belvedere.
