BALTIMORE, Md. — Despite an announcement from the White House about an agreement between unions and rail companies, MDOT says there may still be delays on MARC trains.

In a release, MARC said passengers should expect delays and possibly cancelations for several weeks on the Camden Line. The hold up is caused by freight train congestion on the tracks, which started while unions and companies were negotiating.

Since an agreement was reached Thursday, MTA said MARC Camden, Brunswick and Penn Line trains will operate as regularly scheduled.

But since it is expecting major backups, MTA Commuter buses will honor MARC tickets through Sept. 30. According to MARC, riders can also park for free at the BWI Rail Station garage where they can take the Penn line.
