- Not long ago I drove one of my friends up to the New Carrollton, MD Amtrak station. Across the way is the metro system ( Subway), it can be reached at the same entrance as the MARC and Amtrak trains but are not on the same platform. So we go upstairs to see where the train will pick up. While there a MARC train arrives heading for Washington, DC. It arrived with the engine in the rear since there is no place for the trains to turn around. After this took off we went down stairs because it’s quite cold and are expecting snow. There is a place to purchase some bottled drinks, newspapers and candy. There are many to sit and wait for your train to come. There are boards to watch and announcements to know when your train is coming, plenty of time to get upstairs. So it’s close to the time when the train was to arrive and we went back upstairs to wait. Another MARC Train arrived coming out of DC and points north or west. An announcement came over the speaker saying that another train was approaching, so I started my camera. I had no idea it was one of the Acela trains. It was not stopping here and passed quickly, as it passed it brought a huge bust of wind, it almost knocked me off my feet. I don’t know how fast it was going but I know it had to slow down when it was coming up to the station. After the Acela passed my friend’s train came and stopped. We said our goodbyes until I would pick them up a few days later. As it was leaving another MARC train approached on the other side going into DC. Next was my friend’s train on the trip back to the area. It was a great experience to see for the first time the Acela train. As I was videotaping it started snowing. I would like to see them again in the open to see how fast they go.
Weather was cold and overcast.
Temperature was in the low 30’s F or about 0°C.
Times was mid afternoon

Absolutely fantastic thank you for the upload at the station
Nice video
good v viewing. thank you
Excellent footage, Kathy! The Acela looked amazing. I'm surprised at the huge gap between the platform and the doors on the MARC and Amtrak Trains - seems dangerous to me.
When I was still a toddler I fell between the train and the platform. I was sent to the hospital with only scrapes and bruises. I remember very little of what happened. This was at one of the Philly, PA trains back in the early 50’s. I couldn’t believe that they were so far apart. Thanks for watching my video, I’m glad you liked it ! :-))
Great catches!
YESS! My fave train station!
Traveling from north western part of Virginia and WV to get there was a bit scary for me since I’ve never been that way before. Some of those trains run past quickly. Thanks for watching my video have a great rest of your week :-))

Excellent video
Awesome video! Subscribed!
If u wanna go from dc to Baltimore and Ydk what train to go in either Marc or Acela take the Acela cuz the Acela is the express train and Marc is the local train
But wouldn’t the cost be much higher ? I think I would just drive up there. It takes about 90 minutes to drive up to DC and probably close to the same from here to Baltimore. I would love to ride on one of the Acela trains. I have seen them twice but they were going slower around one of the stations that they do not stop at. Have you been on one of the Acela trains ? How did you like it ?
Thanks for watching my video. Have a wonderful summer. :-))
