A Wikipedia article about the museum is available here: (visit link) The B&O's station in Ellicott City, Maryland, is also part of the museum, and may be the oldest surviving railroad station in America. See 'Ellicott City Station' WM5NFC, and also see 'Shawmont Station' WM6EY2 for a conflicting perspective.
