Williamsburg, MD Correction

It's funny - you take your time doing research before writing a post & then about a month after you make the post, new information comes to light.

May I present an actual photo of the Williamsburg, MD station & freight platform. What I like is the fact that the D&D/C&S reported that the Williamsburg station was of "similar design" as the Federalsburg, MD station. If you look at my post from January 23, 2021, you'll note that both stations are not of "similar design." They may occupy about the same square feet, but you'll note that they're not the same.

Either way, it's cool when more information comes up.

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.
