Germantown serves as a passenger rail stop on the MARC Brunswick Line, which links Washington, D.C. with Martinsburg, West Virginia, including a spur extending to Frederick, Maryland. It is one of the most frequented stations along the Brunswick Line, comparable in traffic to Silver Spring and Rockville. Every train operating on the Brunswick Line makes a stop here.
The original station at Germantown was created by Ephraim Francis Baldwin for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. This facility was destroyed by fire caused by arson in 1978 and was later reconstructed to accommodate MARC operations.
