Alexandria is connected to Washington by both the DC city Metro
and the national Amtrak system. The two lines run parallel to each other
through Alexandria.
The pleasant and spacious Amtrak station in Alexandria was
built in 1905 in what is described as the Federal Revivalist style. It served
three different railroad companies at that time – the Chesapeake and Ohio, the Washington
Southern and the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac. Today it continues to
have links to a number of destinations in Virginia, including Fredericksburg
and Manassas.
