| Kilduff's Train Station page
is not intended as a history of the old train
stations in town, simply as a look through
several old postcards and pictures to
see what Baltimore has to offer.
Comments, as always, are welcome. .................................................................................. ................................................................................ |
| Mount Royal Station The Mount Royal Station has to be the most photographed train station in Baltimore. Postcards can be found of the old rail station for nearly any year. ............  |
| The five
postcards seen below are only a sample
of the views taken of the old station over the
years. No longer used as a train station, the
building is now used as part of the Maryland
Institute of Art campus. .........  |

| Union
Station Before Pennsylvania Station, Baltimore's main line train station was an older structure known as Union Station. Union Station was torn down and the current Penn Station was constructed at the same site, and for a while the newer train station went under the name of Union Station, later being changed to the current name. According to reports back in the day, the old station made it difficult to get to the trains, as you had to walk over the tracks to get to the boarding platform. .......................................................................  |

| President Street Station
Baltimore's oldest passenger station. What you see below is all that survives of the old station, which for years sat vacant. The station opened as a passenger station but in later years handled freight only. Apparently , some of the old station burned down in the 1980's . The President Street Station had sheds that extended East and was later used as a freight station. The area around the station is prime commerical property today, but efforts were made to save the remaining section of the train station. Many years back, train sheds extended from the rear of the building. |

| Calvert Street Station ...............  Looking off the Orleans Street Viaduct ( below ) , this " aerial " view of the Calvert Street Station shows a view that has completely changed today. The Standard Oil building is stands today ( converted into Condos ) and of course the Washington Monument is still there, but much of the view, including the smaller houses on Calvert Street have long been replaced. The pictures below shows the same view , but with the photographer on the ground this time. Before the Calvert Street Station, the site was reportedly a " Roman style " Amphitheatre. |

| Hillen Street
Station Picture to the below is NOT the old Hillen Street Station. It is close to the area where the old train station once stood and might have been part of the complex or a warehouse used in relation to the train station. The Hillen Street train Station was torn down years ago and so far, I haven't been able to find a picture to post. |

That structure is also long gone and the site is now just filled with large rocks. ...............................  ..............................  .....................................................................The old Notre Dame / Wyndhurst Station old the Maryland & Pennsylvania RR Line - Greatly altered over the years ......................  .....................................The old Homeland Station old the Maryland & Pennsylvania RR Line - Used as a residence today - Next station on the line would have been Woodbrook in Baltimore County - which has been torn down. |

( Below ) Postcard view of the old W B & A Station on the Park Avenue side. .............................................................................  Another postcard view of the old W B & A Station on Park Avenue. ............................................  The building still stands today, used in later days as a bank. There have been plans for development on the block, I'm not sure how that's going to affect the old station. ................................  A look at the Liberty Street side of the building. ............................  A later station was built on Lombard Street at Howard Street. That station was torn down years ago, and the Holiday Inn with the revolving roof restaurant was built there. ....................................................
