So much important history of America happened here
B&O Ellicott City Station Museum的点评
点评：Since we were walking around and checking out the historic town, we parked in Ellicott City's Lot D parking lot. However, the Lot A parking lot is much closer if you are just looking to visit this railroad station museum. After all, it is the oldest surviving one in the entire country. Passenger services were offered here from 1830 all the way until 1949. Back in the day, the railroad station, and town, used to be known as Ellicott's Mills after three brothers from Pennsylvania purchased land in 1771 to build a flour mill on.
It's now a museum with FREE admission. There are two floors with the second floor reached by stairs. Even so, it is still handicapped accessible since there is a ramp outside near the turntable that can be used to access the second floor from the back of the platform doors of the waiting room.
On the first floor was the original bell (c. 1830) from the B&O Railroad's Ellicott Mills station. It's the oldest surviving railroad station bell in the country. Also on display is a Surveyor's Boundary Stone (c. 1830) used to mark the boundary of the B&O's property. On the second floor we found a room used as the Station Administrative Office from 1831-1856 then as the Ladies Waiting Room from 1856 until the late 1930s. There was also a Telegraph (America's First Internet), Ticket Office. Two ticket windows were installed, one for men on the right, and one for women and children on the left.
After venturing outside from the waiting room, we found the Turntable & Track. The B&O built the turntable to turn around trains that ran between Baltimore and Ellicott's Mills. Next up was the Freight House, which contains a 40-foot HO scale B&O Model Train Yard of The First Thirteen Miles of railroad track in America. We really enjoyed the model train display. THIS IS NOT TO BE MISSED! Finally, there was a restored 1927 B&O Caboose in which you can learn all about the crew roles of the brakeman and the trainman.

翻译：由于我们四处走走，顺便游览了这座历史名城，所以把车停在了埃利科特城的D区停车场。不过，如果您只是想参观这座火车站博物馆，A区停车场会更近一些。毕竟，它是全美现存最古老的火车站博物馆。从1830年到1949年，这里一直提供客运服务。1771年，宾夕法尼亚州的三兄弟买下了这块地，准备建造一座面粉厂，于是这座火车站和小镇就被称为埃利科特磨坊。
现在，它成了一座免费入场的博物馆。博物馆分为两层，二楼需通过楼梯到达。即便如此，它仍然方便残障人士通行，因为转盘附近有一个坡道，可以从候车室的站台门后方进入二楼。
二楼保留着巴尔的摩和俄亥俄铁路埃利科特磨坊车站的原钟（约1830年）。这是美国现存最古老的火车站钟。此外，还展出了一块测量员界碑（约1830年），用于标记巴尔的摩和俄亥俄铁路公司（B&O）的产权边界。在二楼，我们发现了一个房间，1831年至1856年期间用作车站行政办公室，1856年至20世纪30年代末期间用作女士候车室。此外，这里还设有电报站（美国第一个互联网）和售票处。售票窗口有两个，右侧为男士窗口，左侧为女士和儿童窗口。
从候车室出来后，我们发现了转盘和轨道。B&O建造了这个转盘，用于调转往返于巴尔的摩和埃利科特米尔斯之间的火车。接下来是货运站，里面有一个40英尺高的HO比例B&O模型火车场，展示了美国最初的十三英里铁路轨道。我们非常喜欢那里的模型火车展览。不容错过！最后，还有一辆修复后的1927年B&O守车，您可以了解制动员和列车员的乘务员角色。
