History

The borough of Railroad owes its existence, and its name, to what became the Northern Central Railway, which was built to connect Baltimore, Maryland and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The Railroad Borough Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.

Laura Randall described Railroad as a “tiny town of three hundred people near the Maryland border… home to the Jackson House B&B, a popular crab shack, and not much else.”
