You can buy the book through the Chesapeake Beach Railway Museum.

: Very cool. I can only imagine what the  
: surronding areas of the train stops would be  
: like today, had the rail still been in  
: operation. It could very much resemble the  
: Metro, and the landscape of PG county and  
: Calvert would be ever so different.

: Glad I could help.  At this time of the  
: year,  
: with the leaves gone and the undergrowth  
: mostly gone, you might still be able to see  
: something there.  I visited the area where  
: the Marlboro Station was located and found a  
: spike just nestled at the base of a tree.  
: So it might be worth a visit.

: Thank you for the insight! I grew up on  
: brown  
: station road. Behind our house was a steep  
: revine, which lead down to the old POW for  
: the train track. A bunch of old items were  
: down there, and even some I believe left  
: from the days of the rail.

: 1n 1933, a young man named J.W. Steiner  
: wrote  
: a paper on the CB Railroad while at Maryland  
: U.  
: The railroad had just two more years to  
: exist.  He wrote that at Brown Station,  
: there was an 11-car siding and a passing  
: track.  No mention was made of any  
: buildings, although that was not unusual  
: since he didn't mention some other buildings  
: along the way.

: You can look up the Chesapeake Beach Railway  
: online and email them about the photos, but  
: I don't think there are any.  Brown Station  
: was a whistle stop, and there may have been  
: a platform or a hut, but very long ago.  The  
: Right of Way (ROW) goes to Brown Road very  
: close to Brown Station Road in that little  
: patch of woods on the north side of Brown  
: Road.  If you look at Bing maps, in the  
: birdseye view, you can see the ROW tracking  
: southeast through the farms and coming  
: through that patch of woods I just  
: described, east of Lantana. So Brown Station  
: Road indeed took people to Brown Station.  
: The ROW continues southeast through the jail  
: property on Dille Drive, and comes out onto  
: Old Marlboro Pike just west of Brown Station  
: Road, before you get to Starting Gate.  The  
: ROW appears as a line on the map, and also  
: as a line of trees.  Maryland National  
: Capital Park and Planning Commission owns  
: most of the right of way today.  
: Maybe you might be able to unearth a photo  
: and share it.  Mrs. Harriet Stout is the  
: curator of the museum.  She knows just about  
: everything there is to know about the  
: railway. I learned a lot from her.

: Are there any photo's of the old brown  
: station  
: stop on the chesapeake railroad? Can anyone  
: identify where exactly this stop stood on  
: brown rd?  
:  
: Thanks for the help!
