Bowie Railroad Buildings, Railroad museum in Bowie, Maryland, United States.
The Bowie Railroad Buildings consist of three historic structures: a freight depot, an interlocking tower, and an open passenger shed at the former station.
The Baltimore and Potomac Railroad established the Bowie Station in 1872, leading to the development of Huntington City, which later became Bowie in 1880.
The Martin O'Rourke Railroad Research Library within the Bowie Tower maintains documents and artifacts related to the regional railroad development of Maryland.
The museum operates Friday through Sunday from noon to 4 p.m., offering free admission with suggested donations to support maintenance and operations.
The interlocking tower, rebuilt in 1910 after a fire, controlled train movements at the junction of major rail lines serving Baltimore and Southern Maryland.
