In 1872 the Railroad built a four-story, granite Victorian-style combination hotel and station, called the Viaduct Hotel; it was also referred to as the Relay Hotel. It was not a conventional hotel; it was for the use of train crew and passengers. Trains would have scheduled meal stops. Passengers changing trains might have to spend some hours in Relay. There was a barber and a post office. It was also used for B&O meetings and dinners, and as housing for railroad workers. </p><p>By about 1900, faster intercity trains and the introduction of <a href="/wiki/Dining_car" title="Dining car">dining cars</a> and <a href="/wiki/Sleeping_car" title="Sleeping car">sleeping cars</a> made the Viaduct Hotel obsolete.
