Volume XX, Issue XXIVa: Photography by Bob Kirchman
Photography by Bob Kirchman
Fifty years ago I was traveling into Ellicott City, Maryland and placing a stadia rod against each historic façade, I photographed them all. In 1971 I was building a diorama model of the historic mill town, the first terminus of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. I recently returned to get photographs of the Thomas Viaduct in Relay and some other historic places near there. The link below will take you on some of my more recent journeys. Enjoy!

In 2009 the refurbished model became part of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad's 'Roads to Rails' Exhibit.
