B & O Train Stations in Maryland and nearby (post five)

The B&O Train Station at 117 E. Liberty Street, Oakland Maryland was established in 1884. It has been restored to its original Queen Anne-style splendor, and is considered one of the most distinguished historic depots in the country.

Here is a "vintage" photo of how it appeared in 1906. I have taken the liberty to restore, enhance and sharpen it. The second and third photos are how the station appears today.

I was in an antique store in downtown Oakland, Md yesterday and I wandered into this small alcove in the back with a great view of the historic B&O station. There were even some station-like benches in there. To my irritation, a train came through a few minutes later when I was tied up at the front desk paying for my goodies. Oh well…

None of the street view drivers went on the side streets.

The B&O and the railroads it owned were the only railroads that used colored position light signals.
