Reply to comment by BourbonCoug in Here's a look at the 1st (test) train ever through the new Potomac Yard 🚇station. Major 🎉 milestone in our efforts to complete the 🏗️ work for the new station. Testing is on schedule & we appreciate everyone’s patience as our teams work to get the station completed. #wmata by yunnifymonte

This new station couldn’t use a center platform unless you relocated the tracks to split around it (which is $$$)

The new Silver Line stations are built from scratch and there are advantages to a center platform over side platforms.

This station did involve relocation of tracks, it's slightly to the east of the old alignment.
