1. on the park's side of the tracks is: the station, a grade crossing leading to the MARC commuter parking lot, the American Legion (roof/back wall collapsed in Pres. Day 2003 snowstorm, currently being demolished to be replaced), and then the park itself. on the opposite side of the park from the AL is a radio (scanner type signal I think) tower still with the chessie logo on the door. <br />2. The station is still used for Commuter traffic, so it is easily accessable, but not desegnated for railfans. <br />3. The Museum has a store selling RR books, toys, videos old & new MRR, Trains, RR model craftsman, duplicate B&O employee mags, CDs, Screensavers, photos, and tons of other stuff. (plus sodas, water, trail mix, jam/jelly, etc.) <br />4. the site was originally set up as a park (Mowed, trees planted, etc.) in the '70s, but it has fallen to waste since the city really doesn't think it is important (And public works people have to do other things, like drive around looking for other grass to cut.
