Marc train question?

Question

How would I get from the Silver Spring Station to the Linthicum Station?

Answer 1

From Silver Spring your better off taking the Metro Red Line to Union Station.  But if you want, take the MARC to Union Station.

From there you have a couple of options.

1.  Take the Penn Line to BWI a then get a cab to wherever you need to g.  Or go to the MTA Light Rail BWI line.  Take that line a few stops to Linthicum.

2.  Take the Camden Line to Camden Station and then transfer to the MTA light rail train to Linthicum.

I know this stinks but if you looked at the map you know there's no direct route.  Plus MARC doesn't go to Linthicum the light rail does.

Answer 2

As you can see from the MARC map, there's no direct way to do it.

The Silver Spring MARC station is on the line that runs between West Virginia and downtown DC.  

Linthicum station is on the Baltimore Light Rail, not on MARC.

You'd first have to take Metro down to Washington Union Station, and then take a MARC train into Baltimore (say the Penn Line into Baltimore Penn Station), and then get on the Baltimore Light Rail to Linthicum.  

That's the best I can come up with...
