Traffic delays on 95

Radio traffic reports indicate that southbound I-95 is backed up from the White Marsh Blvd. area due to an overturned vehicle. Based on what I saw as I crossed it on the way to my train, Belair Rd., one of the major alternate routes around that mess, is experiencing heavy traffic and backups as a result. No MARC reports of delayed trains today so far.

Afternoon Commute

No current MARC delays - MARC 853 was delayed earlier. No DC Metro issues aside from Nuclear Security Summit disruptions. How’s the traffic been this afternoon in Baltimore and DC?

F Street closure for the Nuke Summit

F Street NW between 14th and 15th is closed due to a security lockdown that is most certainly for foreign dignitaries staying at nearby hotels.

Morning Commute Update

So far, there has only been one MARC issue this morning - that was MARC 870 near Point of Rocks on the Brunswick line around 5:30. There don’t appear to be any follow-on issues related to that delay. MTA reports no other delays. Don’t forget, DC in the Mount Vernon Square area is a total mess today and tomorrow due to the Global Nuclear Security Conference. One issue not many people...

Watch

A flashback from 2009 - this is video of the platform at Union Station as MARC Penn Line Train 503 arrived around 6:30 a.m. one morning. I videotaped the train arriving from inside the car and then my walk down the platform, through the station and to the Metro platform.

A New Commuting Blog

I’ve actually given a name to this Tumblr blog now besides my own name. The new name represents the new use I will be giving to this space. This blog will now solely focus on commuting issues in both the Baltimore and Washington areas. I will try to focus equally on all modes of transit, even though my current commute is rail (MARC) from Baltimore to DC and then either Metro or DC Circulator...

Metro Fail

I left my MARC Transit Link Card at home today (it had become demagnetized for Metro use already earlier this month) so I had to buy a Metro farecard when I got to Union Station today. I went ahead and put $6 on the card and ended up missing the first Red Line train out of Union Station toward my transfer destination of Gallery Place because of an especially challenged Metro customer trying to...

The Saga continues

After my initial post last night, I decided to try to do something about my non-functional Transit Link Card (at least the Metrorail portion of it won’t work - apparently de-magnetized or never magnetized in the first place prior to the month of May.) The MARC 503 Train arrived on time around 5:25 a.m. today and I headed for the Metro entrance at Union Station. I had to show my pass to get...

MARC/Metro/VRE TLC Rant

I commute from Baltimore to Alexandria everyday. This results in me needing to ride the MARC Penn Line in the morning and then, thanks to MARC-VRE scheduling issues I will mention again later on Inside Charm City, I have to take the Metro from Union Station to King Street. In the afternoons, thanks to the MARC-VRE cross-honoring policy, I can ride the counter-commute on a VRE train that hits...
