Outbound Rush
A southbound VRE train approaches L'Enfant station. VRE is one of few true commuter rail services in the USA, operating to DC only during weekday morning peak and from DC only during weekday afternoon peak. The State of Virginia recently purchased large portions of hte right-of-way and tracks from host railroad CSX and is planning significant improvements along the route, so this may lead to increased VRE service in the future, and perhaps off-peak and reverse peak trains!
