The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Museum is a testament to the first railway line in America to transport people and their goods.
Initially constructed in 1830, the B&O Line was Baltimore’s effort at competing with the newly built Erie Canal, which carried goods to New York City.
It is one of the oldest railroads in the United States, and its museum has the largest collection of 19th century American locomotives in the world.
Train aficionados will marvel at the outdoor G-Scale railroad and the indoor HO scale model, and the enormous collection of locomotives, historic buildings, and small objects such as clocks, pocket watches, signals, and lanterns.
Guided tours of the museum’s restoration shop are available, as are rides on authentic vintage trains.
