Willamsburg, MD

Willamsburg, MD was reached by the Dorchester & Delaware Railroad sometime in November 1868 about 19 miles from Cambridge, MD or 13.5 miles from Seaford, DE (or 97.8 miles from Wilmington, DE). There was a station built there (& it matches the same plan and design of the station at Federalsburg, MD).

In these 2 photos, you'll see the station at Federalsburg, MD in 2014 (photo taken by James E. Reaves) and also an unidentified PRR gas electric at Williamsburg sometime in the 1930s by an unknown photographer (Chase Andrews collection). Williamsburg matched Federalsburg design, so that's why I'm showing Federalsburg here.
