Good night on MARC? No. But no meltdowns yet
With the temperature hitting 101 degrees, MARC is having its predictable canceled trains and delays this evening, but so far nothing has broken down between stations. If the system can get through the night without a stalled train, you could almost call that a victory -- at least in the expectations game.Here's the latest report from MTA:
Penn Line Commuters: MARC Train 436 from Washington/ Union Station ( 530 pm departure) is operating 30 minutes late due to single tracking.
Penn Line Commuters: MARC Train 534 departed Washington 20 minutes late due to single tracking
Camden Line Commuters: MARC Train 852 departing Washington/ Union Station (551 pm departure) is operating 30 minutes late due to disabled train at Wash. terminal.
MARC Train 850 from Washington/Union Station (516 pm departure) to Camden Station is operating 40 minutes late due to mechanical problem.
