[edit] Museum focus
The museum demonstrates the effect of railroads on society in a company town, using the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad's effect on Brunswick as an example.
[edit] Exhibits
It is housed in a 100-year-old, 3-story brick building, with the second floor composed of historic exhibits, and the whole third floor an HO scale model railroad layout depicting the B&O Railroad's Metropolitan line (the MET) from Washington, DC to Brunswick, Maryland, in the late 1950s, as well as showing the Brunswick classification yards, which at one time were about 8 miles long.
[edit] Locomotives/Rolling Stock
No actual railroad cars (rolling stock) are owned, but the layout displays many types of equipment that were used. The museum is located less than a block from the Brunswick Line MARC commuter line and four tracks of CSX mainline.
[edit] Special Events
The largest annual event at the museum is Railroad Days, held during the first full weekend in October.
