  • Point of Rocks is a historic passenger rail station on the MARC Brunswick Line between Washington, D.C., and Martinsburg, WV, located at Point of Rocks, Frederick County, Maryland, United States. The station was built by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in 1873, and designed by E. Francis Baldwin. It is situated at the junction of the B&O Old Main Line (running to Baltimore) and the Metropolitan Branch (running to Washington, D.C.). The Met Branch also opened in 1873 and became the principal route for passenger trains between Baltimore, Washington and points west. The main station building is a 2+1⁄2-story, triangular Gothic Revival with a four-story tower and a 1+1⁄2-story wing at the base. The tower has a pyramidal roof containing a dormer on each side. On top is a square cupola supporting a pyramidal peaked roof. The station building itself is not open to the public and is used by CSX as storage and offices for maintenance of way crews. In 2008, new platforms and platform shelters were built for MARC commuters traveling east towards Washington DC, replacing older bus shelter–style structures which were erected in the mid-1990s. During the blizzard of 2010, the south side awning on the main building collapsed under the weight of record snow fall, and was later removed, leaving half the building missing cover. In January 2011, work to rebuild the destroyed part of the structure began. The Point of Rocks Railroad Station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, and reopened for the Maryland Rail Commuter Service, now called MARC, which established the Brunswick Line. The Duke Energy Holiday Trains display at the Cincinnati Museum Center features a station modeled on Point of Rocks. In 2023, the station will be featured on a USPS Forever stamp in a 5-stamp "Railroad Stations" series. The stamp illustrations were made by Down the Street Designs, and Derry Noyes served as the art director. (en)
  • 巨岩點車站(英語:Point of Rocks station)是馬里蘭區域通勤鐵路由華盛頓聯合車站到西維吉尼亞州的馬丁斯堡之間的的布朗斯威克線上的一個車站,位於馬里蘭州弗雷德里克郡的巨岩點(Point of Rocks)。 本站係於1873年由巴爾的摩與俄亥俄鐵路公司建立,由E. Francis Baldwin所設計。車站位於巴爾的摩與俄亥俄鐵路的舊主線(Old Main Line,通往巴爾的摩)與都會區線(Metropolitan Branch,通往華盛頓)的會合處。都會區線也是在1873年通車的,成為了巴爾的摩、華盛頓之西行客車的主要路線。 車站東側,舊主線與都會區線之間,有軌道連接兩條路線,故本站路線配置呈現為三角線。 車站的主要建築是二又二分之一層的哥德復興式建築,並有一個四層的塔樓與一又二分之一層的側樓。塔樓呈金字塔型,四邊各有一個窗戶,再上方則為方形頂部,有一方錐形屋頂。 站體建築本身並不開放,而為CSX運輸公司道班人員作為倉庫與辦公之用。2008年在東向軌道側(往華盛頓方向)建築了新的月台與候車亭取代1990年代中期建造的巴士候車亭式建築,供馬里蘭區域通勤鐵路旅客使用。 於2010年的大風雪中,站體南側的遮雨棚不堪積雪重荷而塌下,之後移除而使得站體有一半沒有遮蓋。整修工作在2011年一月動工。 巨岩點車站於1973年被列入美國國家史蹟名錄,並在馬里蘭區域通勤鐵路開行布朗斯威克線後重新啟用。 (zh)
