Penn Line (MARC)
Encyclopedia
The Penn Line is a MARC
commuter rail line running from Union Station, Washington D.C.
to Perryville, Maryland
via Penn Station, Baltimore, Maryland on Amtrak's
Northeast Corridor
. It is MARC's busiest and only electric line. Currently the line is the fastest commuter rail line in the country, with trains running at speeds of up to 125 mph. The service is operated under contract by Amtrak
which supplies employees to operate trains, and maintains the right-of-way and MARC's electric locomotives and passenger cars. The line is administered by MARC, a service of the Maryland Transit Administration
(MTA). The Penn Line is the successor to commuter services provided by the Pennsylvania Railroad
, Penn Central, and Conrail as long ago as the mid-19th century. Additionally, when Amtrak took over passenger service in 1971, the Chesapeake
was installed between Washington D.C., and Philadelphia. In 1983, Maryland
, along with a number of other Northeastern states, took control of its commuter railroads and the "MARC" (Maryland Area Regional Commuter) service name was established. The Penn Line became the replacement for Amtrak's Chesapeake.
and Camden lines are used on the Penn Line. All trains are operated in push-pull
configuration (with cab-car end towards Union Station). All stations BWI Airport
to Union Station
have high-level platforms
, and all stations from Perryville
to Halethorpe
, with the exception of Penn Station, have low-level platforms (Halethorpe is slated to be rebuilt with a high platform). This precludes the use of MARC's ex-Metra
low-level boarding gallery cars on the Penn Line.
and Penn Station with 12 trains running between Union Station and Perryville and another 5 terminating/originating at Martin State Airport. Unlike MARC's other two lines, the Penn Line operates all day and well into the night. Service is currently operated on weekdays only, although limited weekend service was supposed to start in summer 2008, but has been put on hold due to negotiations with Amtrak and the state's current fiscal problems.
Amtrak's Acela Express
, Northeast Regional, and long distance trains share the tracks with the Penn Line and share stations with MARC at Aberdeen, Penn Station, BWI Rail Station
, New Carrollton
, and Union Station
. Currently, MARC passengers with monthly and weekly tickets can ride most Amtrak Northeast Regional trains on weekends and select Amtrak Northeast Regional trains during the week. Connections are also available to the Washington Metro Orange Line
at New Carrollton, , Washington Metro Red Line
at Union Station
, and to MTA Light Rail at Penn Station.
The MTA has plans to extend the Penn Line to Newark, DE
to connect with the Wilmington/Newark Line of SEPTA, and to also extend the line past Union Station into Northern Virginia. The planned Purple Line which will connect all three MARC lines will connect with the Penn Line at New Carrollton.
