Summary

Another view of what believe was the 1972 Hurricane Agnes flood in the Brunswick railroad yard. The old Eastbound Station was still standing then across the tracks, as was the green building that was part of J.P. Karn's Lumber Co. at the bottom of S. Maryland Avenue.

We believe that Karn property was originally the REA Express depot in the B&O heyday. Can anyone confirm?
