Ellicott’s Mills Station

ELLICOTT CITY, MD — This little town seems like the mountains when you roll down it’s Main Street.  Just above the street’s river crossing is the old Ellicott’s Mills railroad station, the oldest surviving passenger station in the United States and one of the oldest in the world. It was built as the destination of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in 1830. I took this photo Christmas day 2017.
