The first Railroad Station was just outside the city of Baltimore Maryland consisting of a small shed laid out on a wood platform with and small bleacher set up for on lookers to watch the new Iron Horse in action, also a wagon full of wood and a Large barrel of water were on the opposite side of the track as a fueling "station". The tracks were set up as an exhibition area with just less than 1/2 mile of track laid for the showing of the first American made steam rail Train. By 1802 there was no trace of this short lived station and rail line. a few years later a B&O RR station & the Maryland main RR Yard was built on this same stretch of land.
