History

The Perryville station was originally built by the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad in 1905 and adopted by the Pennsylvania Railroad, and is located within a wye for the PW&B's Port Deposit Branch. When Amtrak took over passenger service in 1971, the station was closed. It was a stop for the Chesapeake, which ran from 1978 to 1983.^[6] MARC Penn Line service was extended to Perryville on May 1, 1991, with intermediate stops at Aberdeen, Edgewood, and Martin State Airport.^[7][8] The station was restored that year at a cost near $1 million.^[7][9][10]

By September 2001, a single southbound Amtrak Northeast Regional train stopped at Perryville to supplement regular MARC service.^[11] The stop at Perryville was for MARC passengers only and was not listed in Amtrak timetables.^[12] Amtrak service at Perryville was suspended in March 2020 when Amtrak reduced service due to the COVID-19 pandemic.^[13][14]
