Baltimore Light Rail

The MARC system consist of 3 separate lines. 2 of them connect Baltimore and Washington DC. The Penn Line which operates on Amtrak's NE Corridor from Wilmington, Delaware, to DC. The Camden Line runs on the old B&O line from Camden Yards station in Baltimore to DC. The third line is the Brunswick line which runs from DC to either Martinsburg, WV or Fredrick, MD on the old B&O Line

Most MARC trains are diesel powered, with the exception of most trains on the Penn Line are electrified.
