When railroads made history: Brunswick, MD (Photos)

Brunswick, Maryland is a suburb of Washington D.C. that has a small town feel. It is located along the Potomac River across from Virginia. As you pass through this town, you can look around and see the mountains across the river to the west. "The key to budget travel is to approach onward. When it happens to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved trips and/or going to see new places we have never been before, the reality of cost and budgeting is always in the back of our mind. Preparation and consuming our travel budget wisely is a priority for most families. Curbing expending and costs, while still savoring your vacation to its fullest, is the key to confirmed success and fiscal obligation. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thought behind protecting money while travelling is simple: Even if your personal funds is really tight, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also recalling that while traveling, regardless of whether on a price range or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a large vacation or travel charge!..". However, the most common thing that you will notice is its railroad heritage.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad began operations in 1828 running lines east and west from Baltimore, Washington, and Philadelphia. In 1833, they needed to find a location to have a rail yard and maintenance shops where they could store and service trains. The location chosen was a place called Berlin. This brought jobs to the area, and the town, which was later named Brunswick and was incorporated in 1890, began to grow from a very tiny town to an enlarged town making it the second largest town in Frederick County, Maryland.
Today, the shops and the most of the yard are gone, but trains still pass through this town on a regular basis. The train station serves as a commuter station for people going in and out of Washington D.C. You can see much of the railroading heritage throughout the town including murals, businesses, monuments, a park, and a railroad museum displaying many of the towns artifacts. In the fall, the town has its annual Railroad Days to retain the memories of its heritage.
Brunswick is located on the Potomac River across from Virginia. It is south of Frederick and is accessible from U.S 340 between Frederick and Harpers Ferry, West Virginia via Maryland Route 17 and from U.S. 15 between Frederick and Leesburg, Virginia via Maryland Route 424.
