Rail operates from Point of Rocks and Brunswick (southwestern Frederick
County) to Washington DC, and recently, construction of new extension
lines brought service to Frederick City and to Rt. 355, which is the new
Frederick I-270 technology employment center. Service to these new locations
began in December 2001.
Amtrak provides
service to Frederick County through Harpers Ferry, just 5 minutes from
Frederick County.

CSX, Conrail
and Maryland Midland Railway all
provide freight service to and from Frederick County.
Maryland Midland Railway provides team tracks for transfer
from rail to truck at two locations in Frederick County. The closest intermodal
