Amtrak's Cardinal, Crescent and Northeast Regional pass through the station, but do not stop.

The station opened in 1992 with the inauguration of the line.[1] On March 17, 2017 the VRE Operations Board voted to expand the Broad Run station instead of an extension to Haymarket. This might include relocating the station, as well as expanding the rail yard and parking facilities. The expansion proposition crumbled after officials said it would cost too much.[4]
