Maryland - B&O Railroad Museum (Unofficial Site)
Baltimore, MD - The B & O Railroad Museum opened slightly more than a century after the B & O fulfilled its charter by completeing a railroad from the Atlantic tidewater to the Ohio River in 1852. When the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad was absorbed by CSX Transportation in 1987, the story of the B & O Railroad Museum as a private, non-profit, educational corporation began. Totally independent of the railroad, the museum through its Mount Clare site, its five historic buildings including the Baldwin Roundhouse, and its nationally known collection, began charting a new course of public awareness.

Maryland - B&O Railroad Museum (Wes Barris Virtual Tour)
Baltimore, MD - (Wes Barris Virtual Tour) The B&O Railroad Museum is located at the historic site of the B&O Railroad's Mt. Clare Shops (just 10 blocks west of Baltimore's Inner Harbor area) at 901 W. Pratt Street (phone: 410-752-2490). Mount Clare is considered to be the birthplace of American railroading. From this historic site (most shops are gone) sprang so many innovations that it was considered "Railroad University" by many. The B&O was America's first chartered rail common carrier, dating to February 28, 1827.

Maryland - Marion Station Railroad Museum & Gift Shoppe
Marion, MD - Restored PRR Passenger Station The Marion Station was purchased in April of 1997 by John & Kathy Poulson with the sole intention of creating office space, with little regard for the heritage surrounding the railroads role in the economy of Marion. As they stripped away layers of changes made by previous owners, a new sense of reverence for what this building once stood for began to emerge. They soon became enthusiastic about restoring rather than renovating. The construction project soon became their personal archeological site, uncovering old bottles,PRR inkwells, rubber stamps, Railway Express Agency and Adams Express Money Order Signs, brass baggage tags, wax seal and numerous receipts,
money orders, baggage tickets from as early as 1898
