THE WILMINGTON, DELAWARE AMTRAK STATION IS UNUSUAL IN THAT IT ACCOMODATES ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVES
The Wilmington station is actually constructed as a steel structural bridge. The bridge supports two tracks, one North and one South, as well as a shed and small concourse for passengers to board trains. Below the structure, at street level, is the main waiting room, restaurant and service area, and ticket office.
In the photo below, an on-coming AMTRAK train, bound for Virginia, can be seen running along the 6,000 volt trolley wire that traverses the loading platform. Trains running along the Eastern Corridor switch engines after they clear Washington D.C., and diesels are used in places South starting at the Virginia state line.
