A temporary station building was used during construction The new station opened in October 2019, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony held in December. On August 27, 2018, the MTA began a $4.7 million project to rebuild and enlarge the station. The project was then expected to cost $600 million and include 9.4 miles (15.1 km) of fourth track. The Federal Railroad Administration issued a Finding Of No Significant Impact-a major step in the environmental review process-in February 2016, clearing the way for final design and construction to begin after funding was obtained. MDOT requested $300 million in federal funds for the project in 2011, but the request was denied. In 2010, $9.4 million was allocated for design and engineering of a new station building and fourth track, which was then expected to cost $80–100 million. The new station under construction in June 2019 The existing structures were replaced with new precast concrete segments, and new signs, lights, shelters, railing, canopies, and benches were installed. The 1,050 feet (320 m) high-level platforms were rebuilt and lengthened between 20. The Carolinian served the station between 19. It contains 3,200 parking spaces and typically does not fill to capacity. The garage was built in the late 1990s to replace a smaller surface lot. The adjacent parking garage is used by commuters who ride the train to work in Baltimore or Washington, and also contains the bus stop for shuttles to the BWI terminal. The station's building houses a ticketing desk, waiting room, and a concessions area. Located roughly halfway between Baltimore and Washington, it provides an additional option for Amtrak riders traveling to both cities.Īmtrak VP Bill Norman speaks at the dedication ceremony in October 1980įirst proposed in 1964 by Charles Adler, a Baltimore-based inventor of traffic and aircraft safety devices, the station was dedicated on October 23, 1980 – coincidentally, mere hours after Adler's death – and opened for Amtrak intercity and Conrail (now MARC) commuter trains three days later. It is Amtrak's sixth-busiest station in the Mid-Atlantic region (behind New York Penn, Washington, Philadelphia, Baltimore Penn and Albany-Rensselaer), the third-busiest in the Baltimore-Washington corridor, and the 12th busiest nationwide. Īlthough Penn Station is the Baltimore area's main intercity station, BWI Airport is a major station in its own right.
