The Biden administration announced $321 million in grants to improve Amtrak service and stations between Baltimore and D.C. It's some of the last money going to passenger rail from a president nicknamed “Amtrak Joe” before he is succeeded by Donald Trump .

The new funds include $24 million toward the design of Union Station’s $10 billion planned expansion and $59 million for construction and security improvements at the existing station.
