💨 Abstract

Union Station has introduced a new platform, Track 22, which serves VRE, Amtrak Long Distance, and Amtrak Virginia trains. The expansion included reconstructing the track, rebuilding the platform, and rehabilitating historic columns. The project, awarded to Skanska USA, was partially funded by a $19 million Federal Railroad Administration grant and was completed by August 8, 2025. Amtrak took over Union Station's management in 2024.
