St. Denis station serves as a passenger rail stop on the MARC Camden Line located in St. Denis, Maryland. Although it is the nearest station to Baltimore's Camden Yards terminus, it experiences relatively low passenger usage.
This station is equipped with two platforms alongside three tracks. Positioned at Arlington and Maple Avenues, the southbound platform features a shelter constructed from plexiglas and aluminum and serves as the station's official address. The northbound platform, situated on an embankment at East Street, includes a wooden shelter. Access between the platforms and adjacent streets is provided by two wooden pedestrian crossings at grade level.
To the east of St. Denis, the Camden Line passes over the MARC Penn Line near Halethorpe station. Its close proximity to Baltimore and location at the convergence of the Capital Subdivision, Baltimore Terminal Subdivision, and Old Main Line Subdivision freight corridors have made it a favored spot among rail enthusiasts. Nevertheless, since spring 2024, "No Trespassing" signs have been installed to limit access outside MARC service hours. Additionally, a junction leading to the B&O Railroad Museum exists between St. Denis and Camden Yards.
Accessibility
The station does not meet the standards set by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as it lacks raised platforms necessary for level boarding.
