Caption: Silver Spring B & O Railroad Station Marker
Additional Description: "The [Silver Spring B&O] station, which is the only twentieth century railroad station in Montgomery County and one of only two twentieth century B&O stations extant in Maryland, represents the evolution of Silver Spring from a small, country town centered around the railroad depot, to a major suburban transportation, retail, and residential center. Located just seven miles from the Capitol, the station served the commuter and long distance needs of suburban residents for over fifty years, and the station site represents more than 120 years of continuous passenger railroad service by the B&O, Amtrak, and MARC." - National Historical Register Form M-36-15
