Three Victorian train stations

[Cirrus]

I'm a fan of train station architecture. Maryland has a lot of small Victorian depots from the 19th Century, mostly built by the B&O Railroad. The two best are generally considered to be at Point of Rocks and Gaithersburg, both of which still operate as MARC stations.

Here is Point of Rocks:







And Gaithersburg:























There are several more, though not as good. Here is one picture of Rockville (on the right). Although Rockville still has a very active station served by MARC, Amtrak and Metro, the platforms are at all new facilities, leaving the old depot to office use.

Great pics, Cirrus. I love the older stations too.

There are a few around my area. I only have pics of one of them though. Plus the one from westfield heritage centre of the old train station. I would like to get newer pics of the stations. Hopefully soon I'll be feeling better so I can get out and get them.

Cirrus, are you into model trains at all?

[Cirrus]

Not really, although as I understand it the Rockville station in the last picture is (or was) available as a plastic miniature for use in model train sets.
