President Donald Trump's administration is taking control of Washington's Union Station from Amtrak, marking another federal intervention in the nation's capital. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced the move Wednesday during the launch of the NextGen Acela high-speed train. Duffy says Union Station has "fallen into disrepair" when it should be a "point of pride" for the city. The federal government owns Union Station, which is near the Capitol. Mayor Muriel Bowser says upgrading the transit hub that serves various rail lines and buses would be an "amazing initiative" for the federal government to take on because the city cannot afford the cost.
