Amtrak Train 188 (7:10pm departure from Washington to Aberdeen) is also cancelled tomorrow. Delays or additional cancellations for other Amtrak trains are possible given the significantly more severe weather predicted for the Philadelphia-New York region.
We encourage our passengers to follow our safety guidelines for winter weather:
--Please allow not only extra time for your commute on MARC, but most importantly, extra time to drive or walk to your station.
--Roads and sidewalks will be slick. Please walk, do not run, from your car to the train.
--We strongly recommend wearing appropriate footwear tomorrow. Men's dress shoes and women's heels are not conducive to this level of cold and slick conditions.
--Also, please dress in layers and protect all exposed skin. This is especially important in and around your face and head.
