The VRE Backlick Road Station is located on the Manassas Line, which operates from Washington, D.C. to Bristow, Virginia, on Norfolk Southern (NS) tracks. The existing platform accommodates five-car train sets for boarding and detraining. Passengers must move to different cars for detraining longer eight-car trains. The platform extension project will build a 290-foot platform extension to accommodate eight-car trains to eliminate the passenger movement within cars and decrease loading and unloading time. The project will also includes rehabilitation and repair of the existing platform and canopy, and upgrade of the lighting and communication systems.
The platform extension project will build an approximately 300 ft platform extension to accommodate eight-car trains.
