I would be curious to hear other people's inputs on this.
Traffic going up route 5 into DC is pretty bad in the day and at night.
CSX owns a track that goes through Waldorf down to Chalk Point coal station.
I live in Croom and there seems to be only 2 trains on this track per day. I've looked at maps and it seems that a train on this track could get into Union station.
Does anyone think, with more money, MARC could convince CSX to let them run a few trains daily on this track to relieve conjestion on route 5?
I propose the following stops:
La Plata MD
Waldorf MD
Brandywine MD
Upper Marlboro MD
Union Station DC
I know the number of stations is small, I make this suggestion because I know the people who would be potential customers. They don't do public transit, unless it's fast.
Anyone have any suggestions or comments?
