Edgewood is a passenger rail station on the Northeast Corridor serving the unincorporated community of Edgewood, Maryland. It is located between the Aberdeen and Baltimore stations. MARC Penn Line trains regularly service the station, along with just one Amtrak train — southbound Northeast Regional train No. 151 — which stops to receive MARC passengers.[4]

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.[5]
