The New Jersey Avenue Station was a train station in the center of Washington, D.C. The train station was also called the B&O Depot as it was served by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad from April 1851 until the construction of Union Station in 1907. During the American Civil War, the New Jersey Avenue Station was the major embarkation site for hundreds of thousands of Union troops. President Abraham Lincoln arrived there to be sworn in as President in 1861 and it was from that station that his body began its long journey to his final resting place in Illinois after he was assassinated in 1865. ==Description==
The tall front of the Italianate-style railway depot located on Capitol Hill was dominated by a four-sided clock tower that rose . The station was deep, according to the ''Baltimore American''. The inside of the station was a beautiful hall that passengers passed through to get to their trains. The station included a B&O ticket office, a freight office and ladies and gentlemen's saloons. Just to the north was the main carhouse, which was wide and in length; its iron roof was supported by granite pillars.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Civil War Washington, D.C. )〕 Passenger services include all Baltimore & Ohio service in and out of Washington. In the beginning, passengers traveled to Baltimore, and there they could connect to the rest of the B&O destinations from Newark, New Jersey, to Chicago, Illinois. In 1873, the Metropolitan Branch was completed and service from the New Jersey Avenue Station directly to the Midwest was inaugurated.
