Maryland Junction Today - Engine House On May 1 2004 I had the pleasure of touring what is left of Maryland Junction, Ridgeley Yard and Knobmount Yard with my friends Gerald Altizer and Doug Yoder. One of the buildings we visited was the former diesel engine house. If you find the information here useful or enjoyable, please be sure to drop me a note in my guestbook.

This is the side shop that include small shops, lockers, and other partitioned rooms.

View looking towards Knobmount. Looks like the skaters have been messing around in here.
