Cecil County, Maryland Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
I had never heard of it before, but back in the 1890’s, there was a horse racing track at Barksdale. Apparently there were also Horse Race Tracks at Singerly, Elkton and THREE horse tracks at Iron Hill. The best I can figure, the “station” at Barksdale was for the horse track. Barksdale is listed on a 1892 schedule between Baldwin and Newark ( Delaware ), along the B&O rails.
