Elevated train
Guilford Avenue, Baltimore
1932

I had no idea that Baltimore once had an elevated train until I saw this photograph. Thanks to Francis O’Neill in the MdHS library, I now know that the elevated train had a very short route that would take passengers above the train yards located along Guilford Avenue. The Baltimore Sun building is located about where this photograph was taken.
