MARC
-Restore commuter rail along the former line from Annapolis Jct. to Annapolis. Service would diverge and head to both Baltimore and Washington.

-Extend Potomac Line service to Richmond.
-Extend Manassas Line service to Culpeper. Possibly to Charlottesville.

-Convert the Howard St. Tunnel into a passenger tunnel. Link services heading north and west via the WM line(s) with those heading south and east via the B&O lines. Do this, of course, under the aegis of the Great Circle Tunnel.
