Quick Facts General information, Location ...

Service in Barnesville began with the opening of the Metropolitan Branch Railroad on May 25, 1873. At that time, the station held the name of Sellman's for the name of the landowner (William Oliver Sellman) the railroad built the line on in the area. At that time, the locals erected a wooden station that also contained the local post office. A new station opened south of Route 109 c. 1920. The station came down in the 1950s,[5] replaced in 1977 with a Washington Gas Light Company metering station in Rockville.[6]
