Amtrak is seeking to use eminent domain statutes to seize control of four properties in Baltimore’s Bridgeview neighborhood to make way for the planned multi-billion-dollar replacement of a passenger rail tunnel that connects Baltimore and Washington, D.C. The National Railroad Passenger Corp., which does business as Amtrak, filed a complaint in U.S. District Court of Maryland Thursday asking the court to grant them possession of four properties in the 1000 block of North Payson Street.
