This is still at the B@O Railroad Station in Ellicott City, Maryland.


Okay this is the last room for this building. Now you can see the large door ahead. If I am understanding this, this is where they use to bring the engines in to work on them? 
The real neat thing is the train set up in here. 


Okay this city and area around it. It was built in two months or so. They change this every year. In the Febuary they will tear down this display and put the train car back into this room. Then this Augeust they will pull the train acr out and rebuild the Lego's again. Every year it is set up differently. 


I know with still pictures you will not see what works and doesn't. But pretty much everything here does something. I think there are five (5) different trains running after you push the white button on the side of the display. 


This poster explains how they built the tracks and how they got back and forth on the job itself. It was surprising to see after putting the track down how much faster the carts would go by horse. The horses could go twice as far on the tracks, than on the ground.  




This is more of the Lego's 



It really is neat how they came up with the bedding and how to hold the rials down. 




More of the Lego's. The reason the pictutrs are not in order is, In the one room there were all kinds of different displays. 


These are some of the different lanterns and flags they used to direct the engineer of the train engine. 


They even had people standing at the railroad crossing. You know where we have the crossing bars and lights that we use these days. 





These are the guys and gals that build these displays every year. 
I still have a couple more pictures about this train station. I will putting more in tomorrow. 
I just went on the web site and it shows you a lot of their displays they have done over the many years. It really is kinda of neat to see. 
Plus the different lay outs too.
