Same. But given how important a freight corridor it is for CSX I doubt that will happen any time soon, even with the line being double track and not currently running at capacity.

Car-free is the way!

The Marc train is the best. Glad to hear you've been converted to the ways of the great American railroad!

HASA is a good place.

I mean you can already take the northeast regional Amtrak there or several commuter buses.

Well the MARC Brunswick line would, but that only operates towards DC in the morning, and out of DC during the evening.

On days like that I remind myself that at least I can be sitting there reading a book or browsing reddit or whatever instead of stuck in bumper to bumper traffic

I did the ASL classes a while ago at the Hearing and Speech Agency (HASA). I enjoyed them although they are probably less formal than what I imagine a formal interpreting program or a college class would be life. My teachers there were all Deaf (capital D - culturally) which I believe is important.

Is there a train that'd take me to Rockville?

I used to commute by MARC, for the better part of a year. I only had a problem once. It was the day after their maintenance contract with Amtrak lapsed and they were using their diesel locomotives. The thing shut down twice and I was three hours late for work. It sucked.

Head West on Fayette.

They have incredible wings!! Is there something that I’m missing that makes these not relevant?

Claddaghs is likely to be reliable for the first game and pretty much whatever game is on during waking hours.

Edit: Also heard Power Plant is setting up a big screen for the US games.

its the best

they re-did the food contractor recently, it's actually edible now (though kinda pricey for what it is, not actually the worst deal in the Inner Harbor IMO)

Totally. I loved MARC but there were rough patches where the service was legitimately terrible and I would wonder if it was the worst commuter rail service in the country. When its good its good, but when you sit in one place on the track for seemingly no reason for over an hour when you just worked 8 hours, its REALLY bad.

Overall it's great and I look back on it fondly, but as you said sometimes it can be very frustrating.

I really hope it extends to Alexandria. I'd love to take a nice trip to VA without the long winded rides.

So glad you found a better way to commute! I feel for everyone that is stuck making that drive everyday. I did it for a few years and it was miserable! I think that commute was the reason I no longer like to drive.

I read the description for the novel and I only have one question…

Did you ever draw furries on the light rail? Specifically dragons?

They have full sized racks on the train but if they get full they turn you away, though the conductors have been saying there’s looking at putting the dedicated bike car on the Penn line train. Folding bikes are always allowed on the train. There’s also bike parking at Penn.

I've clocked Amtrak (non-Acela) using GPS on my phone at 125 on that same stretch! I had no idea they were so fast! I didn't know this fact about MARC-- super interesting!
