Woodberry
Cold Spring Lane
North Avenue
Woodberry is a Baltimore Light RailLink Station servicing this historic neighborhood in Northern Baltimore. The station consists of two side platforms that begin just south of the grade-crossing of Union Avenue and runs south. Union Avenue also provides the only entrances to the station, with the entrance to the Northbound platform at the junction of a small alley that immediately runs uphill away from the station platforms. A set of three steps leads up to this alley right at the northern end of the Northbound platform.
At this little entrance area, there is also a stone pillar with a black and red with a light rail vehicle pictogram containing a small plaque that says "Welcome to historic Woodbury, Circa 1790: Woodbury is nestled on a tract of land once known as 'Come by Chance.' Woodbury Mill, the first grist mill in the area, was built by Elisha Tyson in 1790. In later years, the location attracted extensive cotton and iron manufacturing mills. Eight working mills employed 4000 neighborhood people. Woodbury is a unique part of Baltimore's history." This same entrance area contains a two TVMs under glass canopies.
The rest of the side platforms contain another mid-station pedestrian grade-crossing and a single canopy structure along Baltimore-bound platform that has now been painted black. The most notable feature of the station is the vistas it provides to the historic Meadow Mill building just below the station platforms. This brick multi-story industrial building was used for manufacturing for over a hundred years. It now contains a number of different small businesses including office space and at least one restaurant.
