Early this morning Monday February 17, 2003 the Iron Structure of the 1884 Baldwin Roundhouse at the B&O Railroad Museum collapsed under the weight of the snow. We are thankful that no one was in the museum and we are working with the Baltimore City Fire Department and structural engineers to stabilize the building. The B&O Railroad Museum will be closed until further notice while we work with our team and engineer professionals to assess the damage as well as work to extricate the pieces of the collection contained in the Roundhouse. Upon further evaluation it is our hope to provide information about the museum reopening and upcoming special events.
Thank you for your continued support as The B&O Railroad Museum remains closed until further notice.
