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

History

[edit]

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]
