MARC Service Alert 2/18/19
MARC - Winter storm may impact Wednesday service
MARC Train management, our contract operators, and host railroads are closely monitoring the forecast for winter weather approaching the area. We will operate full service on all three lines on Tuesday; the storm is anticipated to begin impacting the MARC service area early Wednesday morning.
Given the forecast—especially the prediction of ice—MARC may have to reduce or modify service on Wednesday.
Any delays or service issues will be posted on our website https://nam05.safeli...&reserved=0 , on our Twitter feed @mtamaryland and sent by E-mail alert message. You can always check on the current status and location of your train on MARC Tracker at https://nam05.safeli...&reserved=0 .
We encourage our passengers to follow our safety guidelines for winter weather:
--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 very slick. WALK, do not run, to and from your car to the train or final destination
--We strongly recommend wearing appropriate footwear. Men's dress shoes and women's heels are not conducive to this level of cold and slick conditions.
--Dress in layers and protect all exposed skin. This is especially important in and around your face and head.
Thank you for riding MARC Train and, again, please be extra careful during this storm.
