Dickerson is a passenger rail station on the MARC Brunswick Line, situated between Washington, D.C., and Martinsburg, WV (with an extension to Frederick, MD). The station was designed by E. Francis Baldwin and built by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in 1891. It is the last station that Frederick-bound trains pass before branching onto the Frederick Branch.[3]

Station layout

The station is not compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as it lacks raised platforms for level boarding.
