MTA: Expect Delays on the MARC Train

If you're planning on taking the MARC train this evening, you can expect delays, according to the Maryland Transit Administration.

MTA spokesman Terry Owens said MARC service was halted after this afternoon's earthquake so that Amtrak could inspect tracks in Montgomery and Prince George's counties.

He said he anticipates a delay in service this evening, but he could not provide a time frame.

We've got a call out to Amtrak, the contractor that maintains the service, and we'll keep you update as we get more information.
