Description:
There will be a Penn Line schedule change on Monday, May 12. Amtrak is beginning a trackwork project between Baltimore and Martin Airport, which requires changes to some trains. In addition, other adjustments are being made in response to customer feedback and comment.
Please carefully review this schedule, as several trains depart earlier. Most important changes:
Morning service to Washington Union Station
--Train 403 (currently the 4:55am departure from Penn Station) will operate ten minutes EARLIER, departing at 4:45am.
--Train 505 (4:25am departure from Perryville / 5:15am departure from Penn Station) will retain its current schedule Perryville - Martin Airport, but will depart all stations between Penn Station and Washington five minutes EARLIER.
Afternoon/evening service to Baltimore and Perryville
--Train 428 (currently the 3:45pm departure from Union Station) will depart 5 minutes EARLIER at 3:40pm, will no longer stop at Seabrook, and will add stops at Halethorpe and West Baltimore. This change is being made in response to customer requests to close a ninety-minute gap in service at Halethorpe and West Baltimore.
Important information for northbound passengers at Halethorpe
Starting Monday, May 5 (before this new schedule takes effect), the track adjacent to the northbound platform at Halethorpe station will be removed from service by Amtrak for approximately six months for a maintenance project. Temporary platform extensions will be installed. This means that only a limited number of doors will be able to open at Halethorpe station on all northbound trains. Passengers must listen carefully to conductor announcements about which doors will be open and only exit where you see a uniformed MARC Conductor. If you do not see a Conductor at the door you are standing at, that door will not open at Halethorpe.
Printed copies of the new timetable are being produced at this time. Visit www.mta.maryland.gov/marc-penn-may2025 to download a copy of the new schedule. Carefully review the schedule to identify changes to the trains you ride.
