Mount Washington station is a Baltimore Light Rail station in the Mt. Washington neighborhood of Baltimore, Maryland. The station has two side platforms serving two tracks.

History[]

The station was built in the location of the Mt. Washington station of the defunct Northern Central Railway.^[3] When the current stop opened in 1992, it had only a single track for trains traveling in either direction. A second track was added when the Light Rail's double-tracking project for this station was completed in 2005.

MTA buses do not serve the station directly due to narrow streets. Instead, they use a bus loop in Mt. Washington Village along Kelly Avenue, which was constructed in 1949 as a temporary layover for buses following the conversion from streetcars.^[4]
