MARC report: Some delays, could be much worse

Here's the report from the MTA as of 6:04 p.m. Despite the heat, this doesn't look a whole lot worse than an average night. But there's still plenty of time to go.

  * Attention Penn Line Commuters:
          o MARC Train 450 enroute to Penn station is operating 10-15 minutes late.
    * Attention Camden Line Commuters:
          o MARC Train 850 to Baltimore/ Camden is operating 10 minutes late due to congestion. Updates to follow

  *  Attention Brunswick Line Commuters:
          o MARC Train 893 from Washington (515 pm Departure) is operating 10 minutes late due to congestion.
          o MARC Train 875 approaching Point of Rocks is operating 20 minutes late due to heat orders.
          o  The elevator at Rockville station is out of service.  It has been reported to the technician.
          o CSX has issued heat orders for this afternoon starting at 1:00pm, until 7:00pm. Trains will operate 20 miles per hour under the normal maximum authorized speed but not less than 40 miles per hour. Delays can range from 10-15 minutes.
