Passenger Trains > Baltimore From the Window of a TrainDate: 04/07/20 04:53 Baltimore From the Window of a Train Author: bandob From an open window, that is, of a former Reading coach as the 1964 Iron Horse Days Special from Waashington, DC backs into B&O's Camden Station. Today much of this location is covered by M&T Bank Stadium.

T-1, #2100. For clarification, the bridge that the train will pass under, Hamburg Street, and the Cats Pawl Plant behind the train are long gone, and you are correct that the M&T Bank Stadium, where the Baltimore Ravens play, now occupies that area, but the railroad is still there since CSX freight trains pass through there and MARC Commuter Trains go into the Camden Station yard. Thanks again for the photo and stay well.

The large, multi-story building is the Maryland Baking Company, which was flanked by part of the Cat's Paw Rubber Co. (the smokestack in the photo) on the north side of Ostend. There were additional Cat's Paw buildings on the south side of Ostend St., at Warner St.
