Union Station (Salisbury, Maryland)

Union Station is a historic railway station located at Salisbury, Wicomico County, Maryland, United States. It was constructed in 1913–14, near the junction where the New York, Philadelphia & Norfolk Railroad intersected with the Baltimore, Chesapeake and Atlantic Railroad in the center of Salisbury. Both railroads became part of the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR). It has a 1+1⁄2-story, Flemish bond brick main block covered by a medium-pitched hip roof sheathed in slate, with single-story wings. From the 1920s to the 1950s, the PRR ran several passenger trains a day, including the Del-Mar-Va Express, through the station, north–south from Philadelphia to Cape Charles, Virginia.

Passenger service
Until the mid-1950s the Pennsylvania Railroad ran the day train, the Del-Mar-Va Express, from Philadelphia in the north, through Salisbury to Cape Charles, Virginia to the southern end of the Delmarva Peninsula. The PRR in the same period operated a night train, the Cavalier, on the route. Into the 1930s, the Baltimore and Eastern Railroad operated passenger service from Love Point on the eastern shore of the Chesapeake Bay through Salisbury to Ocean City. Into the 1920s, that company's predecessor, the Baltimore, Chesapeake and Atlantic Railway, was running trains from Claiborne on the eastern Chesapeake shore to Easton, Salisbury and Ocean City. ==References==
