    I was thinking we could use a better Amtrak route the route would include over 100 miles of track provided is provided. It would be from Washington to Baltimore There would be Amtrak and MARC train services as well as CSX services along there to change the scene trains could include the new Acela the acs-64 and for Marc train include but I don’t know much about them. If this route is made I would like it to be made well so it can live up to its potential. I think I would make a good route because it’s long and has a variety of service where you can rush along with Amtrak or do a stopping service as well as freight trains to mix it up a bit. Please consider this idea dovetail thank you.

    Dc to baltimore by itself is around 40 miles. Unless you're including other track and branches as well to add up to a 100+.

    The new acela does not run yet. It's been getting delayed and still in testing. Marc uses mainly mp36s with single and bilevels. They also have a small fleet of chargers and I've even seen 1 hhp8 sitting at baltimore. Scenery is a bit mundane and boring but it's still fun

    Very good proposal. Amtrak, MARC and CSX is great.
