MARC Train Service Still Suspended at Aberdeen, Perryville

The Maryland Transportation Authority said that MARC service at Aberdeen and Perryville stations would continue to be suspended Wednesday as crews clean up the tracks on the northeast corridor.

Service was cancelled at Aberdeen and Perryville stations Tuesday morning after a freight train ripped through the area, tearing down wires and utility poles along the rails, the authority reported.

On Wednesday morning, trains that would have left from Aberdeen and Perryville will depart from Edgewood instead, and bus service will be provided to Edgewood, approximately 20 to 30 minutes earlier than usual train departures from those two stations.

See the bus schedule to Edgewood from Aberdeen and Perryville here. There will not be buses for Train 505 (4:40 a.m. departure from Perryville).

Original report from Tuesday, Sept. 16:

Commuters who rely on MARC and Amtrak in Aberdeen and Perryville will have to use another station on Tuesday.

Service was suspended at those two stations Tuesday morning, and all trains were cancelled due to a freight train tearing down wires, transportation officials said.

Instead, passengers were advised to use stations at Edgewood (2127 Old Edgewood Road) or Martin State Airport (2710 Eastern Boulevard, Middle River). See the schedule for the southbound Penn line.

Penn line service north of Edgewood will continue to be suspended due to downed electric wires and poles, the Maryland Transportation Authority reported Tuesday afternoon.

All trains that travel north of Baltimore are terminating and originating at Edgewood.

There were major delays on the Penn line Tuesday morning as a result of the service disruption, according to the Maryland Transportation Authority. See the latest updates on delays from the authority.

Service between Washington and Baltimore will not be affected, according to the report, which said that all trains would be operating on-time.

A decision about service at Perryville and Aberdeen for Wednesday will be made Tuesday afternoon.
