    The reason why this happens is because the MARC Brunswick Line is running on tracks owned by CSX. And because CSX, Amtrak and MARC all share that line, it will be very hard to mix those three and have an efficient dispatching process. While I do agree, MARC can’t do much about this and even though they can run a couple train to Frederick, the rest of the stretch of the line is shared with other MARC, two Amtrak and CSX trains all running on it. If they could, they would buy the line to either Brunswick or Frederick, but I don’t know how.

    I'm sorry that I missed this event and the most recent event held on March 4th at the Germantown Public Library. We definitely need to focus more on road safety here in the Upcounty (Germantown) area, especially on Crystal Rock Dr. at the intersection of Waters Landing Dr./Cloverleaf Center Dr. and Waters Landing Dr. Thanks for posting and sharing this video.
