Description:

MARC Penn Line weekend service is suspended until further notice. This is due to major Amtrak signal and switch failure between Washington and Bowie State University stations. There will be one northbound MARC departure - Train 482 will operate (12:30pm departure from Union Station), but will experience 60-90 minute delays. This will be the last scheduled MARC service today. We sincerely regret the inconvenience this service suspension will cause, but at this time the extent of delays make operating MARC Train service not possible.

During the MARC service suspension, Amtrak Northeast Regional trains will honor MARC Train tickets at Baltimore Penn Station, BWI Marshall Airport, New Carrollton and Washington. Passengers should note that Amtrak trains are experiencing 60-90 minute delays between BWI and Washington and bicycles will not be accepted.

We are working closely with Amtrak to receive regular updates on the progress of repair work and will resume service as soon as it is practical, updates will be provided as information becomes available.
