baltimore & ohio railroad station

They are only open on the first Saturday of the month but they do have some fun programs and the trains roar by while you are there. A very nice model train set up too. You can rent out the station for private functions.

Well-preserved, the B&O RR Station is still operative, linking the north and south through the heart of Silver Spring. Nicely restored and maintained, it brings to life a forgotten era when the railroad station a central gathering spot for a town or city. The waiting room is in good shape with the restored ticket window surrounded by comfortable chairs. The one ugly feature is the chain link fence that forms a protective barrier across the entire platform except for a small opening for passengers.
