On a cold and windy Saturday morning, a pair of Maryland Transportation Authority LRVs roll to a stop at the Camden Yards station in downtown Baltimore. After a handful of passengers board, the pair will continue south toward BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport. MTA 5050 sits on an adjacent track before heading north to Penn Station a few minutes later.
From B&O RDCs to MARC bilevel coaches pulled by electric locomotives and diesels, the Maryland commuting scene has evolved, while trolleys, aka light rail vehicles, are back.
