Brunswick
Visitor Center
Located
at 40 West Potomac Street, Brunswick, MD 21716 (301-834-7100)
the Brunswick Visitor Center shares the building with the Brunswick
Railroad Museum. For over a century Brunswick has been a railroad
town. In 1890 the B&O Railroad moved its yard here from Martinsburg.
The railroad yard was a "classification yard," it was used for switching
cars to different lines. The Brunswick yard was the longest yard
owned by a single company, it was seven miles long. This once bustling
company town is now a quiet place since the decline of the railroads.
The remains of the rail yard are still visible from the canal towpath.
Call ahead for hours of operation.
