Welcome to a place where railroad ingenuity started—and never stopped.

The city. The nation. The world. They’d all look different without the B&O Railroad. Its engineering ingenuity powered far-reaching progress—and you can stand where it all began.

See where the First Stone of the railroad was set. Explore the Mt. Clare Shops, where countless innovations in railroad technology come to life. And step inside the B&O Roundhouse and discover the locomotives that powered our past at the same time you imagine what will pull human potential even further. As the very place where American railroading began, we’re more than a museum; we’re a platform between yesterday and tomorrow. Welcome on board!
