Have you tried the Library of Congress' American Memory's Map
collection? It can be found at:
http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/browse/ListSome.php?category=Maps
They did have a birdsyeve view of Baltimore from 1869, a map of the
Baltimore and Ohio RR with its branches and connections from 1878, and
an 1860 map of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad and its principal
connecting lines uniting all parts of the East & West to name a few.
Bookmark this website, it is a must source of maps.
All I did was type "Baltimore" on the search engine and it gave me 182
entries.

Dear Map Librarians,
A PhD student here at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, has made this
request. We do not have anything in our collection that addresses this.
Please get in touch if you can help.
Thanks,

"The problem I am having, and what I need help with, is finding a
detailed street map of Baltimore City in 1861 which includes all of the
train tracks that pass through that city including all of the depots,
and a map of the train tracks that pass through and surround (and around
and through) the City of Baltimore in 1861. In particular I need the
track map of the Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Baltimore Rail Road into
and out of Baltimore in 1861."
