Evolution of the Railroad
Depot. Reprint from The Train
Dispatcher with permission.
In the early days of rail travel
there were no stations; the primary
concern of railroad builders was to
get the rails laid and the trains
running. So the new mode of
transportation followed the methods
of stage and canal companies,
neither of which had provided
special buildings to take care of
passengers or freight. Hotels or inns
were the departure and
terminal points for travelers.
Tickets, except in a few cases where
the conductor or captain collected
the money from the passengers,
were sold at the departure points or
at business places in the towns
served.
Some pioneer railroads provided
ticket booths, but no
accommodations for passengers.
Even the earliest B&O structure,
Mount Clare in Baltimore,
was at first only a booking office;
no shelter or other facilities were
available. In some cases houses were
adapted for use as stations until
such could be constructed.
Trains from those early times
departed from a" street corner or
other location in town. Later, Mount
Clare in Baltimore became a
"station." The second B&0 depot
was built in 1831 at Frederick, MD.
The B&0 is credited with the first
substantially built structures to be
called railroad stations in the United
States.
Because the railroads emanated
from the larger cities in their
formative years, the early station
buildings were constructed there.
But it was not until 10 or 15 years
after their primitive beginning that
the term "architecture" could really
be applied to them. In the larger
towns and cities, brick buildihgs
with wooden train sheds were the
order, and frequently the wooden

---About The Republican Candidates-
Being unopposed for the Democratic nomination for Prosecuting
Attorney, I often get questions about the three Republican candidates for
Prosecutor as I campaign throughout the county. Although I'm only an
observer as to that race, I do want to share my impressions and thoughts.
I have been disappoi nted that the Republican candidates haven't spent
more time discussing substantive issues as to the many duties of the
Prosecuting Attorney .... issues like budget priorities, the Assistant
Prosecuting Attorney position, and the policy question of incarceration
versus alternative sentencing. I think it important to address such issues,
but I'm not in the Republican contest. So why aren't the Republicans
discussing the real issuesregarding the Prosecuting Attorney's office?
It does concern me that David Gilbert and Kristin Cook are publicly
soliciting campaign contributions. Although legal that does not help
preserve the appearance of independence of the office• Richard
Gunnoe's decision to not accept campaign contributions is a better policy.
It also concerns me that Cook and Gilbert appear to be running as
candidates of political factions and cliques. Cook's public identification of
her candidacy with relatives and specific groups makes her appear to
have her own political clique. Gilbert's campaign stresses his family
connections, and he publicly boasts that he is endorsed by and was
recruited to run by Delegate Roy Cooper. Gunnoe, in contrast, is
conducting a more individual, independent campaign for Prosecutor in not
openly associating himself with factions, cliques or organizations.
Based on what I've seen and heard of the candidates, I suggest that
Republican Primary voters have a choice between Cook's campaign
stressing her passion for the job, Gilbert's campaign of philosophy and
theories, and Gunnoe stressing his experience and knowledge. With
Gunnoe's longer experience as a W. Va. attorney (licensed August 1983)
than Cook (May 2012)or Gilbert (May 2013), I think his campaign is much
more "reality-based" than that of either of the other two Republicans.
So it's a matter of what kind of Prosecutor, and what kind of candidate
for Prosecutor, voters in the Republican Primary prefer. I've just stated
here my impressions, for whatever value voters might find in my thoughts.
