New train station putting Marylanders to work, getting them to work

(Timonium, MD) – Congressman C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-MD) tomorrow will showcase the final construction phase of the MARC train station in Edgewood, MD. The $5 million train station is being converted from a basic train platform into a fully-functioning station with amenities including bathrooms, ticket machines and ramps for people with disabilities.

The Edgewood station is expected to become increasingly busy as jobs related to the Base Realignment and Closure process and adjacent Aberdeen Proving Ground continue to come to Harford County.
