Will work ever be completed at BWI Rail Station?

It's been a year (?) since they errected plywood walls in the pedestrian bridge that crosses the tracks at BWI rail. I take the MARC at least twice a week and never ever see anyone working on it. I haven't observed any changes.

What are they doing and do they have any deadline for completion?

Union Station Food

I came here specifically to say that my experience with the chipotle has been awful but shake shack has been fantastic. I will spend a little more money to be treated like a human. 🤷‍♀️ Anyone else have places in Union Station that they like or don’t like? I’m specifically thinking about Customer Service.

Brunswick line Rant

I’m really getting tired of people sitting in the handicap / bike area before train fills. I have a handicap but too proud to ask people to move so I just suck it up. Taking double decker trains. It happens mostly in afternoon on way home. Conductors won’t say anything out of fear they are handicap. Anyway, I feel better now. lol. Thanks

5/19 - Penn Line Suspended due to a passenger strike. No trains moving either direction

They just warned the 419 at Odenton that no trains are moving and they won’t be going past Seabrook. Chaos. I am glad they warned us at Odenton so a bunch of us could get off, otherwise we’d be stuck sitting on a train for who knows how long. Guess I’m WFH today 🤷‍♀️

Brunswick to Camden - Bypass Union Station

What would you think about a Brunswick Train that runs to Camden in the morning and bypasses Union station for commuters to Baltimore? It only stops at College Park and Camden station on the Camden line.

So much for the Preakness train

I don't know who to yell at, but damn, I bet that wrecked a whole lot of people's plans... Mine included.

"Hello,

I am sorry to inform you that the MARC Trains transportation option has been cancelled. At this time, we are offering full refunds, or your tickets can be used to exchange for a parking pass.

Let me know what option you would prefer."

CAMDEN disaster continues

4:13 train from union was cancelled yesterday due to “mechanical issue” and today’s 841 train from Camden is already operating with 15-25 minute delay. NO DELAY REASON provided. Are they out of reasons/excuses?

438 Overshooting Odenton

I've been on a lot of MARC trains in the last ten years and this is the first time I've ever seen one just blow past the station. They blew the whistle and everything, but I guess the engineer thought he was driving the 536. After 25 minutes of backing up at a walking pace, we made it back to Odenton from the MD32 overpass.
