306 KB | Pwenner (talk | contribs) | Here is a vintage photo (or postcard?) showing the Point of Rocks Station with a passenger train on the old B&O Mainline. This image was taken sometime after 1902, as the KG Tower, visible on the right, was constructed that year. You can also see Hickman’s Lunch Market next to the tower. It's interesting to see people (presumably) having exited the train to go on their way, along with the folks on the rear of the train.
