Rockville is a Washington Metro station in Montgomery County, Maryland on the Red Line. The station is located in downtown Rockville, Maryland, at Hungerford Drive near Park Avenue. The government buildings for Rockville and Montgomery County are located here, as well as several large companies. Service began on July 25, 1984. An old Baltimore and Ohio Railroad station was moved to make way for the Metro.
MARC, Maryland's Rail Commuter Service shares the station building with Metro. MARC uses the east side of the station, while Metro uses the west side. It is also a station for Amtrak's Capitol Limited which uses the MARC side of the station. Rockville´s Pedestrain Crossing used to be there, but it was taken out around 2011/2012. Today, the pole and the sign to report an emergency to CSX is still there, but it will never be seen again.
