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.
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.
