Washington Terminal Company

The Washington Terminal Company is a corporation created in Washington, D.C., USA, to provide support to railroads using Washington's Union Station. It was established in 1901 by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and the Pennsylvania Railroad-controlled Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington Railroad.〔
〕 Today, its operations are run by Amtrak.
The Washington Terminal Company owned and operated Union Station (opened in 1907) and about of track in the Washington area, providing switching services for passenger trains using the station or passing through the area:
*Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B&O)
*Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR)
*Chesapeake and Ohio Railway (C&O)
*Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad (RF&P)
*Southern Railway (SOU)
*Atlantic Coast Line Railroad (ACL)
*Seaboard Air Line Railroad (SAL)
In 1981, Amtrak took over the terminal company's operations.〔Amtrak (2007).("Nation’s Capital Marks 100 Years of Train Service." ) ''Amtrak Ink'' (newsletter). October 2007. p.3.〕 Still, the Washington Terminal Company remains a separate legal entity, and unlike Amtrak, it is not exempt from the Interstate Commerce Act. This allowed Virginia Railway Express to threaten a filing to the Surface Transportation Board to enforce its right to access when Amtrak tried to oust VRE from Union Station after VRE said they would not automatically re-hire Amtrak as its operating contractor. Faced with this action, Amtrak backed down.
