In General

Baltimore is lucky to have the number of vintage depots still around as we do.  This is due in part to the fact that when the Pennsy de-commissioned their stations, they offered them to the family that was already there.  The last one that still had the original family in it was sold in 2002, it was the Riderwood station.  Back then, it sold for around $145K.  In the time since, it has changed hands I think 2 or 3 times, the last time selling for $650K!

There are a few stations and freight sheds not pictured on the map below, only because they are really outside the area covered by the Baltimore railfan guide.  You will find these on either the Maryland Station Page, or the pages that cover those areas:

Aberdeen MD  - PRR and B&O Depots
Fallston MD - M&Pa station
Forrest Hill MD (Bel Air) - M&Pa Depot
Vale MD - M&Pa Fright Shed
Whiteford MD - M&Pa Freight Shed

Aerial shots were taken from www.bing.com/maps. The snap-shots from Bing are made with Snagit, a Techsmith product... a great tool if you have never used it!
 

Pictures and additional information is always needed if anyone feels inclined to take 'em, send 'em, and share 'em, or if you have something to add or correct.... credit is always given! Contact info is here

GPS Coordinates: 39.40978,-76.645281

This is the last Pennsy station to have the original family in it, when it was sold in 2002.  Back then, it sold for around $145K.  Since that time, it has changed hands, I believe, 3 times, the last time selling for $650K!  I was in Minneapolis in late 2001 when someone from the Ruxton-Riderwood Improvement Association called me, and asked if I would help save it.  A developer had his eye on the property, and was going to buy it and tear it down so he could put 4 houses on the property!  I dunno why this person called me, cause anyone else could have gone to the county to have it put on the historic register.  But that's what I did, and the woman who sold it (and her real estate person) were really pissed at me for doing so.  Too bad I wasn't around 40 years earlier when they tore down the Ruxton depot!
