History
Odenton Station was originally built in 1872 by the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad which was later merged into the Pennsylvania Railroad on November 1, 1902. The station survived the merger between the New York Central Railroad and the PRR that formed Penn Central; however, upon the establishment of Amtrak in 1971 passenger service to the station ceased, although it was used as a maintenance-of-way storage facility. MARC reopened the station for local commuter service in 1989.[3]
