Edgewood station serves the southern terminus of Maryland Route 755 which terminates at an entrance to the Aberdeen Proving Ground. Parking is available on both sides of the tracks. The station is also located east of Amtrak's Edgewood Interlocking Tower, previously owned by the Pennsylvania Railroad.[6]

Station layout

The station has two side platforms and a small station house north of the tracks. Parking is located on either side of the station area.

No track is designated as "Track 1" at the station; the tracks are numbered in accordance with the former Pennsylvania Railroad's convention of retaining track numbers relative to their position in a four-track main line.

Former Station Building

The former Edgewood station of the Pennsylvania Railroad was designed by architect Lester C. Tichy in association with designer Raymond Loewy.[7][8] Historic photographs and architectural drawings of the Edgewood station can be found in the March 1943 issue of The Architectural Forum magazine.
