Location

Burke Centre station is a railway station in Burke Centre, Burke, Fairfax County, Virginia. It is served by the Virginia Railway Express Manassas Line and a once daily Amtrak Northeast Regional round trip.

History

The station opened along with the Manassas Line on June 22, 1992.^[1] A large parking garage and bus stands were added in mid-2008 as a $28 million project.^[3]

On October 1, 2009, one Amtrak Northeast Regional round trip was extended to Lynchburg. As with Northeast Regional trains on the Fredericksburg Line, trains would stop for VRE passengers under a cross-honoring agreement between Amtrak and VRE.^[3] On January 18, 2010, Burke Centre became a full Amtrak stop, with passengers allowed to book travel to and from the station in both directions.^[4] Amtrak Cardinal and Crescent trains pass through but do not stop.
