MTA: Expect Delays on the MARC Train

MARC service had to be halted today so that Amtrak could inspect the tracks.

If you're planning on taking the MARC train from the Bowie State University stop this evening, you can expect delays, according to the Maryland Transit Administration.

MTA spokesman Terry Owens said MARC service was halted after this afternoon's earthquake so that Amtrak could inspect tracks in Montgomery and Prince George's counties.

He said he anticipates a delay in service this evening, but he could not provide a time frame.
