  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ก.ค. 2016
  • MARC or the Maryland Area Regional Commuter service operates 3 commuter lines connecting many portions of the state of Maryland with the U.S. capital city Washington D. C. The commuter service primarily serves the region between Baltimore and Washington. In this video, we will look at the Brunswick and Penn lines as we see diesel and electric powered commuter trains running to and from Washington. All aboard!

    3:30 Good thing you caught the date you filmed it!
    3:44 a single level train has a bi-level cab car, but most of the bi-level trains you caught had a single level cab car!
    4:11 old caboose on display at right!
    4:39 two single level cars on a bi-level train!
    4:47 with two diesels!
    5:40 two bi-level cars in a single level train!
    6:12 gates kinda slow, people are starting to cross!

      Those people crossing the tracks early made me think, what if there was another train coming the other direction and the people couldn't see it because of the departing train. All of them would have gotten run over! People tend to show how stupid they are when you throw trains into the mix.

    I notice that most of these are on the MARC West line (Union Station west via Silver Spring to WV) and is thus only partially electrified (and non-electrified north of Silver Spring), hence the use of Chargers - which can run either way

    • @russellgxy2905
      @russellgxy2905 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The Brunswick Line (West Line as use described it) is owned by CSX, as is the Camden Line. So naturally neither of them have wires over them. Only the Penn Line uses electric locomotives, which are the HHP-8's. The Chargers are straight diesels. Clean diesels, but diesels nonetheless

    Most commuter train lines run mix and match - look at SEPTA (the only other commuter train service I have any experience with). MARC's Penn Line (which runs the southern side of the NEC - and thus is MARC's moneymaker - and I don't sway it because I ride it) does mix and match.

      On the Northeast Corridor (*Penn Line*), it's occupied by both MARC & Amtrak, so the MARC equipment were built to top around 125 MPH - fastest non-Amtrak in the country - to keep within a very, very tight & compact schedule along the corridor. MDoT just recently ordered several Siemens *Charger* -model electric locomotives to phase-out the Bombardiers, as well as, be as technologically advanced with autonomous-like speed-control as the ACS-Sprinters.

    Your video is excellent! However, you describe that "MARC primarily service between Baltimore and Washington DC." That is not quite accurate. You show videos trains on the Brunswick line explanation about one something between Washington DC and Martinsburg, West Virginia. It is a heavily traveled MARC route. It might be better served to say "Mark serves the entire Washington, DC region." Thank you.

    • @CoasterFan2105
