MARC Train - Forecasted severe weather may impact Tuesday service

 

 

1/8/2024 3:32 PM

 

Based on current local weather forecasts, severe weather is projected to occur during tomorrow's (Tuesday's) MARC Train Service. Severe weather can result in multiple types of warnings and speed restrictions that CSX or Amtrak may deem necessary to issue. With all warnings, (Flash Flood, Wind, etc.) comes speed restrictions and delays of 20-25 minutes are common. These restrictions are issued to ensure you have a safe ride to your destination. Downed trees are also a possibility, which will result in lengthier delays and possibly temporary suspension of service.

We will provide updates as needed to keep you informed and thank you in advance for your patience and understanding with any delays that result.

MARC Brunswick Line - R+ schedule tomorrow due to weather

 

 

1/8/2024 7:11 PM

 

MARC Train has made the decision to reduce Brunswick Line service to the R+ schedule on Tuesday, January 9. Only trains in the R+ schedule grid on the right side of the Brunswick Line timetable will operate. We recognize that this reduced service will cause inconvenience but given updated weather forecasts, we have significant concerns about the ability to offer full service tomorrow on the Brunswick Line. Your safety is MARC Train's first priority.

Trains may still experience delays due to severe weather warnings, downed trees, and other severe weather-related issues. We thank you in advance for your patience and understanding as MARC Train, Alstom and CSX Transportation get you to your destination safely.
