RDCs at Germantown MD
A set of B&O RDCs pass the ruins of the Liberty Milling company in the late summer of 1972. The structure burned in the summer of 1972, leaving only the large concrete storage silos which stood until the late 1980s. Only a decade and a half prior, this was the second largest mill in the state, and a boon to the local economy. The silos dwarf the tiny passenger station, which also burned in the late 1970s. A replica station was constructed when this entire scene was restructured for a larger and better commuter station center. The scene is wildly different today. No photographer listed, JL Sessa collection.
