MARC Train
MARC (Maryland Area Regional Commuter) (reporting mark MARC), known prior to 1984 as Maryland Rail Commuter Service, is a regional/ commuter rail system comprising three lines in the Baltimore-Washington Metropolitan Area. MARC is administered by the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA), a Maryland Department of Transportation agency, and is operated under contract by CSX Transportation and Amtrak. MARC does not operate on weekends. Service is suspended or reduced on selected holidays. With some equipment capable of reaching speeds of 125 mph, MARC is considered the fastest commuter railroad in the United States.

“Let us be realistic and demand the impossible.
[Soyons réalistes, demandons l’impossible.]”
—Graffito. Paris ‘68, ch. 2, Marc Rohan (1988)
“Misfortunes leave wounds which bleed drop by drop even in sleep; thus little by little they train man by force and dispose him to wisdom in spite of himself. Man must learn to think of himself as a limited and dependent being; and only suffering teaches him this.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
