MARC train commuters face delays, heat restrictions
BALTIMORE -- CSX issued heat-related speed restrictions for two of the MARC train lines on Wednesday, according to the Maryland Department of Transportation.
The restrictions will impact the trains that travel along the Camden Line, which connects Baltimore to Washington, D.C., and the Brunswick Line, which shuttles people between Martinsburg, West Virginia and Washington, D.C.
Due to reduced speed restrictions, there will be delays of anywhere between 10 to 15 minutes, transit officials said.
