Camden Line

The Camden Line is a MARC commuter rail service connecting Washington Union Station in Washington, D.C., with Camden Station located in Baltimore, Maryland. This line operates along the tracks of CSX's Capital Subdivision and Baltimore Terminal Subdivision. Initially established by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad on May 24, 1830, to provide service between Baltimore and Ellicott City, this route stands as one of the longest-running rail corridors in continuous operation within the United States. The extension reaching Washington was completed on August 25, 1835.

As the shortest route within the MARC system, the Camden Line offers service exclusively on weekdays as of 2019, primarily serving commuters traveling between the metropolitan areas of Washington and Baltimore. The line accommodates an average daily ridership near 4,684 passengers (as recorded in June 2017), playing a crucial role in facilitating regional transit for both business commuters and local residents. Ownership of the tracks lies with CSX Transportation, while operations are managed by Alstom in collaboration with the Maryland Transit Administration.
