While I do have a pic of a tiny station in Baltimore in the 1950s I have nothing of the older station which I understand was rather large.,,Unless WM passenger trains started to use Penn Station or Camden.

I have tried for years to find a decent picture of Hillen station, but have never had any luck. I do know of a Phillip Hastings pic that shows a corner of the building. WM trains did stop at Penn Station, in fact it was called Union Station originally and there are photos to confirm this. WM joined the PRR at Union tower, just east of the current station and split off again west of the tunnels.
