Trump administration takes control of D.C.’s Union Station
Los Angeles Times
|August 28, 2025
President Trump’s administration is taking management of Union Station away from Amtrak in the latest example of the federal government exerting its power over the nation’s capital.

AMTRAK POLICE officers patrol Union Station in Washington. Amtrak will no longer control the hub.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced the takeover Wednesday alongside Amtrak President Roger Harris at Washington’s main transportation hub during the launch of an updated version of the rail service's Acela train.
Union Station, in walking distance from the Capitol, has “fallen into disrepair” when it should be a “point of pride” for the District of Columbia, Duffy said. He said the administration’s move would help beautify the landmark in an economical way and was in line with Trump's vision.
“He wants Union Station to be beautiful again. He wants transit to be safe again. And he wants our nation’s capital to be great again. And today is part of that,” Duffy said.
