Perryville is a passenger rail station on the MARC Penn Line and along the southern part of the Northeast Corridor however, Amtrak does not service the station. A single Amtrak train—Regional #151—stops at Perryville to board MARC ticket holders. The station is also the northernmost in the MARC system and the terminus for the Penn Line.[1] Perryville Station was originally built by the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad in 1905 and adopted by the Pennsylvania Railroad, and is located between a wye for the PW&B's Port Deposit Branch. When Amtrak took over passenger service in 1971, the station was closed but later in the decade became a stop for the Chesapeake between Washington D.C., and Philadelphia, until it was acquired by MARC.[2] The station was remodeled to its original specifications in 1992,[3] and is located near an Amtrak maintenance facility.
Perryville station also contains the Perryville Railroad Museum, open on Sunday afternoons, which includes a model train layout and exhibits about the history of railroads in Perryville.
