Saturday is National Train day. Which is a relatively new Holiday conceived by Amtrak to celebrate an old event: the driving of the final spike in the transcontinental ralroad. (an event that did not take place in Maryland) In the spririt of the holiday, it seemed only appropriate to post a picture of the destination of the first railroad trip ever made in America: Ellicott City, or Ellicot’s Mills as the station sign reads. Today the station serves as a museum; a sister site to the downtown Baltimore station.
