You would be surprised how well all of that works now. The stops in maryland are so far apart north of baltimore where its 2 tracks, and thats ONLY for one stop, edgewood. Its not a big deal. The MP36s can only do 90, everything else now is good for 125 so with the siemens they fly. They have at least 4 electric sets in service a week it seems like now so they tend to use them a lot more for the stuff that goes all the way to perryville.
The thing with the tunnel though is that 30mph MAS in the tunnel is for everything. Once you get out of the tunnel, theres ways to pass the faster trains around the slower trains and the "delays" are all figured into the timing of the trains. Amtrak leaves, MARC follows right behind. Problem solved.

No good deed goes unpunished.
