History
Constructed in 1905 by the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad, Perryville station was subsequently managed by the Pennsylvania Railroad.

Following Amtrak's takeover of passenger rail services in 1971, the station was closed but later served the Chesapeake route from 1978 until 1983. On May 1, 1991, MARC Penn Line service was extended to Perryville, adding stops at , , and . That same year, the station underwent renovations costing approximately $1 million.
Starting in September 2001, a single southbound Amtrak Northeast Regional train supplemented MARC services at Perryville; however, this stop was exclusively for MARC riders and did not appear in Amtrak's published schedules. Amtrak ceased service at Perryville in March 2020 due to reductions prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
