History

The stop is built near the location of the former Bare Hills station on the defunct Northern Central Railway, which ran south from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, to Baltimore until the mid-1950s. Much of the former NCR corridor between Baltimore and York is now occupied by the Torrey C. Brown Rail Trail and Jones Falls Trail, while Interstate 83 now provides the main transit corridor between the two cities. A northwestern spur line of the Western Maryland Railway ran nearby past Lake Roland towards Westminster in the late 19th century.[4]
