Civil War 150th Anniversary
The War Came By Train
Now - May 30, 2015
Monday – Saturday (10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.)
Sunday (11:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.)
The American Civil War was the first major conflict where railroads played a prominent role and the B&O was the major line that straddled a divided country. Between April 19, 1981 (The Baltimore Riot of 1861) and April 21, 1865 (Lincoln's funeral train leaving Baltimore for Illinois), the B&O stood witness and participant in the greatest conflict the United States has ever faced and changed the course of American history. The War Came By Train serves as the B&O Railroad Museum's primary attraction for the five year commemoration of the War's sesquicentennial. The National Landmark Roundhouse exhibits the largest assemblage of Civil War railroad equipment in the world featuring locomotives and rail cars that served during the war, significant military and personal artifacts that change annually to portray each year of the war (some artifacts never before on public display), and a narrated round trip train ride to the original site of Camp Carroll, the largest Union encampment in Baltimore. New exhibits added for 2012 include the Union Army's Railroad Brigade, hospital trains, and moving the wounded by rail and road.
