"A railroad station built in 1850 as part of the Philadelphia, Wilmington & Baltimore Railroad, which began in 1838 to connect Baltimore to Philadelphia. The original transportation office and depot, circa 1840 & 1842 were razed in 1850 to build the present station house. Both with and without the aid of employeees of the PW&B Railroad, the facilities were used by the General Vigilance Committee Anti-Slavery Society in Philadelphia, as well as other groups and individuals, to escape or aid others in escaping slavery."
