 The War Came By Train
Now - May 30, 2015
                    Monday - Saturday, 10am - 4pm
                    Sunday, 11am - 4pm                    The American Civil War was the first major  conflict where railroads played a prominent role and the B&O was the major  line that straddled a divided country. Between April 19, 1861 (The Baltimore  Riot of 1861) and April 21, 1865 (Lincoln's funeral train leaving Baltimore for  Illinois), the B&O stood witness and participant in the greatest conflict  the U.S. has ever faced and changed the course of American history. The  War Came By Train serves as the Museum's primary attraction in  commemoration of the War's sesquicentennial. The Roundhouse exhibits the  largest assemblage of Civil War railroad equipment in the world!
