Amtrak's salvage center in West Baltimore offers free materials salvaged from 100-year-old homes demolished for the Frederick Douglass Tunnel project. Items like kitchen sinks and marble steps are available to residents, preserving history and supporting community projects.

Residents can access stainless steel appliances, high-end doors, and cabinets at the salvage center. Community groups plan to repurpose marble steps as benches for a new amphitheater, blending historic materials with modern initiatives.

One resident, Maurice Spencer, obtained a condenser and water heater from the center, remarking, 'This was right on time,' as his old heater had started leaking.
