Union Station is a historic railway station in Salisbury, Maryland, constructed in 1913–14 at the junction of the New York, Philadelphia & Norfolk Railroad and the Baltimore, Chesapeake and Atlantic Railroad. Built in the Colonial Revival style, the station features a one-and-a-half-story main block of Flemish bond brick topped by a medium-pitched hip roof of slate, flanked by single-story wings. During its heyday from the 1920s through the 1950s, the Pennsylvania Railroad—which absorbed both original lines—operated multiple daily passenger trains through the station, including the Del-Mar-Va Express running between Philadelphia and Cape Charles, Virginia. After the PRR discontinued passenger service in 1958, the building was repurposed as a freight facility and, since 1986, converted to other commercial uses. The station represents the most elaborate surviving passenger facility on Maryland's Eastern Shore and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.
