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.
