Ames Williams wrote a book awhile back, and I checked it again last night. There was a store located on Brown Road at the railway stop.
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.
