Silver Spring Station
Updated November 2004 to fix the "Dover Harbor" link
Silver Spring
These views date from 1984 and predate the removal of the team tracks,
the accident which stove in the front door, and the maze of chain link
fence which currently envelops the station grounds.
This shows the station from the "East"; the view is actually almost
due North. The bit of black railing near the center the the picture surrounds
a staircase to a pedestrian tunnel running under the tracks. In the distance
to the left, the private car sits in the team tracks; the Dover
Harbor resided here at the time and (assuming it was not out on
the road) would be hidden by the station in this view.
This view looks in the opposite direction. The railroad and Metro tracks
are just out of the picture to the right; there is also a very small waiting
room, long unused, directly accross from the station. To the left are the
team tracks.
Here's a visitor in the team tracks. Strates Shows still travels by
train today, and interestingly, their cars are not marked with the
'X' of private cars.
Here's the Dover Harbor back when it lived in Silver Spring.
Its appearance has not changed since it was moved to its current location
North of Laurel. For other views and more information, you may visit its
website.
