The Trump administration said late Friday it has struck a deal to restore federal control of Washington Union Station in the nation’s capital.

Last month, the U.S. Department announced it planned to reclaim management of Washington’s Union Station, one of the country’s biggest rail hubs, in President Donald Trump’s latest move to increase federal control. Under a new agreement between U.S passenger railroad Amtrak, the Union Station Redevelopment Corporation and Federal Railroad Administration, the federal government will take control of the station. “Reasserting control of the facility will free up Amtrak to focus on its core mission of providing rail transportation,” the FRA said Friday.
