Rolling Road station is a Virginia Railway Express station in Burke, Virginia. The station is served by the Virginia Railway Express Manassas Line on weekdays, except for two inbound and one outbound train each day. VRE shares the right-of-way with Amtrak's Cardinal and Crescent trains; however, no Amtrak trains stop here.

The station platform will be expanded an extra 300 feet (91 m). The existing platform can only accommodated 5 car trains. Long trains are unable to open all door during boarding. A contractor was selected for this work in October of 2020 and work is scheduled to begin in early 2021. [2]
