Publisher

Description
English:

A two-story building stands between a split in railroad tracks.

Monocacy National Battlefield. This Monocacy Junction station building replaced the one that burned in 1864. Until 1873, all trains from the west heading to Baltimore or Washington, D.C. went via the Monocacy Junction. The location of the junction and the railroad and highway bridges over the river made it a strategic site during the Civil War battle.
