I guess my thoughts are if the Penn line is more reliable and offers more frequent trains (in case I miss mine) than Camden, it might be worth the extra 10-minutes to drive to BWI? Just a thought- I definitely am open for suggestions! Thanks, y'all!

You can also take Howard Transit from the Columbia Mall/Brokenland Park & Ride/Snowden River Park & Ride to the Dorsey MARC station... then then to Union Station.

My husband takes the Camden line from Dorsey to Union Station every day. Occasionally there are problems with the train, but he rarely has to put gas in his car, and he reads the paper or dozes the whole time. It's much easier than driving. If you live in EC or Elkridge, off rte 103- a great area, it will only take about 5 minutes to get to the Dorsey station.
The Penn line also has a station called Halethorpe, which is off rte 1, I'm not sure wht the sity is, though it's not far past Elkridge.

Does anyone know how long it will take from Dorsey Station (Camden line) MARC train or the BWI stop (Penn line) to Union Station. My ulitimate destination is Crystal City. I am curious on the usual commute time, or a least a ballpark. Thank you for your time.
