# Silver Spring station (Baltimore and Ohio Railroad)

Silver Spring station (listed as the Silver Spring Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Station on the National Register of Historic Places) is a former train station on the Metropolitan Subdivision in Silver Spring in Montgomery County, Maryland. It was built in 1945 by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad on the foundation of a previous station, a Victorian-style brick structure built in 1878. It served intercity trains until 1986 and commuter rail until 2000. Today, it is owned and operated as a museum by Montgomery Preservation, Inc., a non-profit organization.

## History

The station was designed in the Colonial Revival style and built from standardized plans developed for B&O stations in the mid-1940s.
In the Baltimore & Ohio era, the station was the first stop out of Washington on westbound long-distance trains. The roster in 1956 included:
* Ambassador (Baltimore–Detroit)
* Capitol Limited (Jersey City–Chicago)
* Cleveland Night Express (Baltimore–Cleveland)
* Columbian (Washington–Chicago)
* Diplomat (Jersey City–St. Louis)
* Metropolitan Special (Jersey City–St. Louis)
* National Limited (Jersey City–St. Louis)
* Shenandoah (Jersey City–Chicago)
* Washington-Chicago Express (Washington–Chicago)
Amtrak's Blue Ridge to Cumberland served the station from 1973 until it was discontinued in 1986.
MARC Brunswick Line service at the station ended in 2000, and trains now stop at nearby Silver Spring station where transfer to the Washington Metro is available.
The station was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2000 and restored in 2002. It retains its original 1940s waiting-room furniture and recessed fluorescent lighting fixtures. Exhibits on the history of Silver Spring and the B&O Station are provided by the Silver Spring Historical Society and Montgomery Preservation.
The eastbound waiting room, a small rectangular building of similar design, stood on the south side of the tracks. Built along with the station in 1945, it was rebuilt in 1976 to make way for tracks laid for the Washington Metro. An underground pedestrian tunnel connected the two buildings beneath the track bed. In 2008, the building was demolished to make way for other development.
# Sioux Falls station (Rock Island Line)

The Rock Island Depot is a historic railroad station located at 201 East 10th Street in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The station opened in 1886 to serve the Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Northern Railway, a predecessor of the Rock Island. The ashlar and wood building has a Richardsonian Romanesque design with a side-facing stone gable and an octagonal turret. The interior of the station includes a waiting room, a ticket office, and the station agent's quarters. As the railroad network spread through South Dakota, Sioux Falls became the state's primary commercial and transportation hub due to its established station. The station served passenger trains through Sioux Falls until 1970.
The station was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 15, 1974.
# Snell station

# Somerville station

Somerville is a NJ Transit railroad station on the Raritan Valley Line, located south of the downtown center of Somerville, in Somerset County, New Jersey, United States. The historic station building on the north side of the tracks has been restored and now is used by a law firm. Parking lots are located to the south of the station and there is a tunnel there to access the platforms. Like many of the stations on the Raritan Valley Line, Somerville was not a wheelchair accessible station until December 7, 2010.

## History

In 2004, the station's parking lot was expanded, toward the two railroad tracks, from the south side, to include parking for another 68 cars. These spaces are no longer available as a construction project is in progress.
At some point, the stationhouse and the train tracks were on the same level. An historical photo of the Somerville station with the tracks in front of it can be seen in the Arcadia Publishing historical photo book Somerset County in Postcards, by Alan A. Siegel, Somerset County Historical Society (ISBN 0-7385-0078-X). In 2009, a reconstruction project began at the station to install high-level platforms and make the station handicap accessible. This project includes new ramps, renovations to the existing tunnel, rehabilitation of the existing freight elevator shafts, a new tunnel headhouse, and demolition of the two existing waiting rooms. It was announced on December 1, 2010 that the high level platforms would open on Tuesday, December 7, 2010 to allow for demolition of the low level platforms and continued platform construction. The historic station depot is being kept.
Starting January 12, 2015, NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line started Midtown Direct service between New York City and Somerville and its surrounding area.

## Station layout

The station has two high-level side platforms serving two tracks. Both are 710 feet (220 m) long and can accommodate eight cars.

# Acacia awestoniana

Acacia awestoniana, commonly known as the Stirling Range wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to a restricted area in the south-west of Western Australia. It is a spreading, sticky shrub with wavy, widely elliptic to elliptic, phyllodes, spherical heads of golden-yellow flowers, and narrowly oblong pods up to 22 mm (0.87 in) long.

## Description

Acacia awestoniana is a spreading, sticky shrub that typically grows to a height of 2.4–3 m (7 ft 10 in – 9 ft 10 in) and a width of up to 4 m (13 ft). Its phyllodes are wavy, widely elliptic to elliptic, 15–30 mm (0.59–1.18 in) long and 11–22 mm (0.43–0.87 in) wide, leathery and glabrous with three to six main veins. The flowers are borne in up to three racemes of spherical heads on a glabrous peduncle 12–20 mm (0.47–0.79 in) long, each head 5–6 mm (0.20–0.24 in) in diameter with 54 to 60 golden-yellow flowers. Flowering occurs vrom September to November and the pods are narrowly oblong, up to 22 mm (0.87 in) long and 3–5 mm (0.12–0.20 in) wide containing oblong, glossy brown seeds about 4 mm (0.16 in) long.

## Taxonomy

Acacia awestoniana was first formally described in 1990 by Richard Sumner Cowan and Bruce Maslin in the journal Nuytsia from specimens collected on the west side of Chester Pass Road at the northern boundary of Stirling Range National Park. The specific epithet (awestoniana) honours Arthur W. Weston, "collector of most of the material known of the species and a most enthusiastic and knowledgeable field botanist in Western Australia".

## Distribution and habitat

Stirling Range wattle is confined an area near the northern bounday of the Stirling Range National Park where it grows in wandoo woodland or along watercourses. The plant is found on the lower slopes, on flats and along watercourses and grows in loamy or sandy clay loamy soils.

## Conservation status″

Acacia awestoniana is listed as critically endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species and the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 Threatened and Priority Flora list, and fewer than 1,000 individual plants are known to exist. It is also listed as Declared Rare on the Western Australian Department of Environment and Conservation Declared Rare and Priority Flora List and as vulnerable under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. The species occurs in a very restricted distribution, where its extent of occurrence and area of occupancy are not believed to exceed 12 km$^2$ (4.6 sq mi). The major identified threats include increased bushfire frequency and grazing from quokkas and introduced rabbits. Due to the species only being known from a single location, these threats could potentially affect the entire population in a short period of time.
# Charles Spear

Charles Spear (May 1, 1803 – April 13, 1863) was a Universalist minister who advocated for the abolishment of the death penalty, supported prison reform, and founded the newspaper Prisoner's Friend. The Prisoner's Friend was advertised as "the only journal known in the world that is wholly devoted to the abolition of capital punishment and the reformation of the criminal."
Charles was born in Boston on May 1, 1803, and was a member of the Universalist Church of America. Charles Spear was the younger brother of John Murray Spear. Charles studied for the Universalist ministry in Roxbury, Massachusetts.
Later in life he began to criticize the death penalty. In 1830 he fought against the death penalty, the harsh treatment of prisoners, the conditions of jails, and struggled for a change from the prevailing philosophy of vindication to rehabilitation.
Through Spear's efforts, prison conditions improved significantly, the death penalty was abolished in three states and imposed less often in others.
He and his wife would frequently visit the Centre School in Dedham.
Spear died on April 13, 1863, and held funeral services in Washington D.C.
