Caption: B&O Railroad Station
Additional Description: When it was the Rockville train station, this building was the oldest way station on the Metropolitan Branch of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. The station was opened the same year as The Met, in 1873. The building was moved in 1981 to allow construction of the current Rockville intermodal complex. Peerless Rockville Historic Preservation LTD is the organization that got the building relocated rather than demolished. The current rail facility - a few yards away - serves the Metro Red Line, the MARC Brunswick Line and Amtrak's Capitol Limited, as well as WMATA's Metrobus and Montgomery County's Ride-On bus systems. While the building pictured is no longer a train station, it continues to be occupied by offices.
