Location

Woodbridge station is a train station in Woodbridge, Virginia. It serves Amtrak's Northeast Regional service and Virginia Railway Express's Fredericksburg Line.

History

The Woodbridge station was originally built in 1992. ^[2] It is located near the site of a former Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad station, which was called Occoquan until 1951. The Carolinian stopped here between 1995 and 1999. ^[3]

A second platform on the western side of the tracks was completed prior to the planned Summer 2010 initiation of express service to Washington. Access from northbound US 1 to the platform and elevator on the western side was included in the project. ^[4]

A planned $29.7 million project will add a third track, convert one side platform to an island platform, and lengthen both platforms. Construction is expected to be complete around 2027. ^[5]
