Falls Road station is a Baltimore Light Rail station in the southwest corner of Towson, Maryland, located near the Mount Washington neighborhood of Baltimore and the Bare Hills Historic District in the Jones Falls Valley. It has two side platforms serving two tracks, one in each direction. A 0.3 mile boardwalk provides access from the parking lot to neighboring Lake Roland Park.[2]
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.[3]
