BALTIMORE, MD (JULY 12, 2017) – Due to necessary track work to be performed by Amtrak at Penn Station, the Maryland Department of Transportation Maryland Transit Administration’s (MDOT MTA) MARC Train weekend service on the Penn Line may experience delays July 15-16 and July 22-23. Some trains will terminate or originate at the West Baltimore MARC Station with shuttle bus service to and from Penn Station.
The track work to replace a portion of the railroad infrastructure is necessary to maintain safe and reliable operation of all MARC Penn Line and Amtrak trains that utilize Penn Station.
On Saturdays July 15 and 22, the Penn Line will operate on a Sunday schedule with some modifications. The full list of modifications is available on the MDOT MTA website at www.mta.maryland.gov/content/penn-line-weekend-major-service-modifications-july.
All trains may experience 10- to 20-minute delays on all four weekend days. So, the MDOT MTA urges riders to plan ahead if utilizing Penn Line weekend service this month.
