MARC Penn Line - Limited train doors opening at New Carrollton Started Fri Feb 23 2024 Until Tue Dec 31 Amtrak continues work to rebuild the platform at New Carrollton station with half of the platform closed for construction. This significantly limits the number of doors that will open -- all doors will NOT open.
Passengers traveling to New Carrollton should only exit the train where they see a uniformed MARC Train conductor, any door without a train crew member will not open. Passengers are encouraged to listen to on-train announcements and if you are not certain which doors will open at New Carrollton, ask a Conductor when you board the train or when they collect your ticket.
MARC Train - Update on Odenton station tunnel stairs replacement Started Wed Nov 13 Until Fri Dec 20 On Monday, November 18, MARC Train will begin a project to replace the stairs to the pedestrian tunnels at Odenton station. In order to shorten the overall duration of the projection, both stairways will be removed from service at the same time, effective immediately. During this work, passengers must only use the ramps to access the tunnel. Please allow additional time to walk to or from your train and follow all construction area safety signage.
