Riders on MARC’s Penn Line faced-two hour delays Monday morning, just days after the commuter system said it was improving its service in the wake of last summer’s “hell train.” Monday’s trips were not as bad as the two-hour delays in June, though, when hundreds of riders were stuck for two hours in sweltering heat without air conditioning in a broken-down train. This time, the train headed toward D.C. broke down leaving Baltimore’s Penn Station, losing power and blocking all trains headed south and north on the line for two hours. But the train was able to roll back into the station, allowing passengers to get off. Some commuters took the light rail to the Camden Line of the MARC service, making their way to work on slower diesel trains. Kytja Weir
