Overhaul of Baltimore station will help speed trains through busiest rail corridor in nation

The Baltimore train station is getting its first major facelift in nearly four decades, an investment that railroad officials say will help move passenger trains throughout the busy corridor from Washington to New York. Renovation of the 110-year-old train hall began last month as part of a $150 million revamp that will include an extension of the concourse, two new train platforms, and dining and retail amenities to be completed by 2025.
