Effective Tuesday, January 20, Penn Line Train 554 (currently 5:30am dpt Penn Station to Perryville) will depart 15 minutes earlier at 5:15am. This change will eliminate conflicts with two Amtrak trains. The new schedule for Train 554 will improve the performance of Train 517 (6:30am dpt Perryville / 7:20am dpt Penn Station) since Train 517 operates with 554's equipment and train crew. We regret any inconvenience that Train 517's passengers have been experiencing lately due to delays and thank you for riding MARC Train.

MARC Penn Line schedules will change on February 16 and March 16, 2026 due to a major Amtrak trackwork project in New Jersey, which is resulting in significant modifications to Amtrak train schedules between Washington and New York. In addition, a project has begun south of Union Station to construct a new railroad bridge across the Potomac River, which is affecting Amtrak trains that travel through Washington, DC to points south. The changes to Amtrak schedules resulting from these two projects will require MARC Train to modify our schedules as follows:
--Until February 13: Current schedule (May 12, 2025) is in effect.
--February 16: Interim schedule takes effect.
--March 13: Interim schedule ends.
--March 16: Most (**but not all**) train schedules revert to the May 12, 2025 schedule, with additional changes due to Amtrak trackwork that will be starting between Penn Station and Edgewood.
Given the short effective dates of the February 16 schedule, full Penn Line timetables will not be produced. Passengers are can download a PDF copy of the new timetable at www.mta.maryland.gov/Penn_FebMar_changes . Limited copies of timetable grids are available at stations. This webpage also contains a full list of the changes. The March 16 schedule change will be announced and distributed by the first week of March.
Thank you for riding MARC Train.
While the winter storm has passed, MARC Train reminds passengers to continue to exercise caution. Please adhere to the following for travel in winter weather:
--With sunny skies and temperatures in the mid-40s today, there will be significant thawing of ice and snow, especially on building and waiting shelter roofs. Be aware of falling snow and ice. There will likely be significant re-freezing overnight. MARC Facilities staff continue to treat platforms and parking lots, but some spots will be slippery. WALK slowly and take your time.
--Allow ample time to drive to the station, park your car, and WALK -- do not run -- to the train platform
--We strongly encourage passengers to wear shoes appropriate for winter weather. Dress shoes and heels are strongly discouraged.
--When boarding your train, use handrails to walk through wet or slushy areas. Despite treatment and cleaning, train stairs and floors can be slippery.
