Caption: Perryville Train Station
Additional Description: Perryville is the northern terminal of several MARC trains on the Penn Line. Passenger service is currently limited to weekday peak periods, although MARC has plans for significant expansion.
The station is in the middle of a wye. Amtrak's Northeast Corridor is the eastern segment. The other two tracks join to become a spur to Port Deposit MD and Harrisburg PA. Norfolk Southern freight trains use the spur as they travel between Baltimore MD and Harrisburg PA. Most freight activity is late at night.
Perryville is a fantastic place to spend a day. Amtrak trains pass frequently on their way to Boston, New York, Washington, Florida, etc. The scenic Susquehanna River is a short walk away.
