History

[edit]

The current waiting shelter for Amtrak service in Cumberland sits on the original site of the Queen City Station. This was a 174-room hotel constructed by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad in 1871 with a ballroom, a 400-seat dining room, and gardens and fountains.[2] The station was demolished in 1972, an act which spurred conservation efforts for architecturally and historically significant structures.[3]
