The curves of the line (On Explore 11/10/2015)

            Plans for a railroad from Baltimore into Southern Maryland began to develop after the Civil War. In 1872, the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad opened the Bowie Station. Developer Ben M. Plumb seized that opportunity and developed “Huntington City” around that railroad station. Shops, hotels, and comfortable Victorian houses filled the tree-lined streets of Huntington City, renamed “Bowie” in 1880 to honor Governor Oden Bowie, who was instrumental in bringing the railroad to this area. The section of the tracks shown here are active with trains carrying coal from West Virginia to a local thermoelectric plant.
