The Amtrak Railroad Anacostia Bridge is a railway-only bridge which crosses the Anacostia River in Washington, D.C. It carries Amtrak's Northeast Corridor and MARC's Penn Line passenger rail traffic. It was the site of the famous "Crescent Limited wreck" in August 1933, caused when the bridge was damaged by the 1933 Chesapeake–Potomac hurricane.
On February 26, 1903, the Commissioners of the District of Columbia gave their approval for the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad to build a more direct line from Baltimore to the District of Columbia. The new route would be called the Magruder Branch . It would largely replace the local section of the Washington City Branch, which crossed the Anacostia 3 miles to the south. The Magruder Branch would connect the new Union Station with the PRR Magruder Station in Landover, Maryland .
