What is the "R" schedule? This is a reduced level of service operated on selected holidays and during inclement weather conditions. Only trains with an "R" under the train number in the Camden and Penn Line timetables and Brunswick Line trains listed in the special grid on the right side of the timetable will operate.  In addition, some trains will make additional stops when operating on the "R" schedule as noted in the timetable grid.

The following is the MARC Train holiday operational schedule for 2025:

  • Martin Luther King Day / Presidential Inauguration (January 20): Full service on all three lines, we will not operate the "R" schedule.  Click here for full information on riding on this day.
