Brunswick Railroad Museum

From TrainSpottingWorld, for Rail fans everywhere

The Brunswick Railroad Museum is a museum in Brunswick, Maryland that shows how railroads affected society in a company town, using the B&O Railroad's effect on Brunswick as an example. It is housed in a 100-year-old, 3-story brick building, with the second floor composed of historic exhibits, and the whole third floor an HO scale model railroad layout depicting the B&O Railroad's Metropolitan line (the MET) from Washington, DC to Brunswick, Maryland, in the late 1950s, as well as showing the Brunswick classification yards, which at one time were about 8 miles long.

Locomotives/Rolling Stock

No actual railroad cars (rolling stock) are owned, but the layout displays many types of equipment that were used. The museum is located less than a block from the Brunswick Line MARC commuter line and four tracks of CSX mainline.

Special Events

The major event is Railroad Days during the first full weekend in October. Other smaller events are held as well.
