Description:

MARC Penn Line schedules will change March 16, 2026 with the completion of a major Amtrak trackwork project in New Jersey. Amtrak will return to normal weekday service, which will require MARC Train to modify our schedules. Most schedules are going back to the times that were in effect before the February 16 - March 13 special interim schedule, but there are additional modifications.

Printed copies of the new timetable will be available next week. Passengers are strongly encouraged to download a PDF copy of the new timetable now at www.mta.maryland.gov/Penn_March16_change . Please carefully review train departure times, ***especially southbound morning trains to Washington -- many of them will operate EARLIER***

A full list of the March 16 changes is provided on the MTA website, https://www.mta.maryland.gov/Penn_March16_change , including a discussion about the more significant changes to morning southbound Train 511.

Thank you for riding MARC Train.
