New Carrollton station
New Carrollton is a joint Washington Metro, MARC, and Amtrak station in New Carrollton, Prince George's County, Maryland at the eastern end of the Orange Line and planned Purple Line, and adjacent to the Capital Beltway.
Beneath the Metro station platform, a waiting room serves Amtrak's Northeast Regional and Vermonter trains, as well as MARC's Penn Line trains. The New Carrollton Rail Yard is nearby.
Greyhound, a nationwide intercity bus company, also stops at the station on routes serving Richmond, Washington, Philadelphia, New York City, Pittsburgh, and points beyond.
MARC Ridership
As of 2013, the daily MARC ridership was 982.
History
The New Carrollton station is the third station in the area to serve intercity rail traffic.
The first station, Lanham, 0.75 miles (1.21 km) north of the current station, consisted of a small shelter and an asphalt platform served by a few Penn Central trains.
The second, Capital Beltway, sat just inside the Capital Beltway. Opened on March 16, 1970, it was served by Penn Central (later Amtrak) Metroliners.

Amtrak
The National Railroad Passenger Corporation, doing business as Amtrak /ˈæmtræk/, is a partially government-funded American passenger railroad service. It is operated and managed as a for-profit corporation, and provides medium- and long-distance intercity service in the contiguous United States. Amtrak was founded in 1971 through the government-sponsored consolidation of most of the preexisting passenger rail companies in the United States.
Amtrak operates more than 300 trains each day on 21,300 miles (34,000 km) of track with select segments having civil operating speeds of 150 mph (240 km/h) and connecting more than 500 destinations in 46 states in addition to three Canadian provinces. In fiscal year 2015, Amtrak served 30.8 million passengers and had $2.185 billion in revenue, while employing more than 20,000 people. Nearly two-thirds of passengers come from the ten largest metropolitan areas and 83% of passengers travel on routes shorter than 400 miles. Its headquarters is at Union Station in Washington, D.C.

Amtrak Express Parcels
Amtrak Express Parcels was a parcel delivery company in the United Kingdom.
It was founded in 1987 by Roger and Elaine Baines who grew the business from a small outfit based in the West Midlands into a nationwide parcel carrier, with around 1,000 vehicles operating out of around 100 distribution centres.
The growth of the company in the early years was based on its focus on providing high quality deliveries and focusing on small high margin customers who valued the quality of service, as opposed to working with larger companies with bigger volumes who expected much lower prices. From the beginning, the company undertook to deliver all their packages during the morning and provided their customers with computer based tracking facilities (hence the name AM-Trak). The company also benefited hugely from the series of strikes at Royal Mail during the late 1980s.
The company won a number of awards throughout the 1990s and early 2000s for its parcel delivery service over the years, most notably numerous awards from Triangle, the leading independent source of information and analysis on the global mail, express, and logistics market sectors and the related business community.

2015 Philadelphia train derailment
On May 12, 2015, an Amtrak Northeast Regional train from Washington, D.C. bound for New York City derailed and crashed on the Northeast Corridor in the Port Richmond neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Of 238 passengers and 5 crew on board, 8 were killed and over 200 injured, 11 critically. The train was traveling at 102 mph (164 km/h) in a 50 mph (80 km/h) zone of curved tracks when it derailed.
Some of the passengers had to be extricated from the crashed cars. Many of the passengers and local residents helped first responders during the rescue operation. Five local hospitals treated the injured. The derailment disrupted train service for several days.
Federal authorities from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) believe that the derailment was most likely accidental, and are investigating minor damage to the windshield of the train which may have been caused by a projectile, but did not penetrate the glass. Officials said the incident might have been prevented by PTC (Positive Train Control), a computerized speed-limiting system that was operational elsewhere on the Northeast Corridor, but whose activation at the crash site had been delayed due to regulatory requirements. The track in question was not equipped with ATC (Automatic Train Control), which had been operational for years on the southbound track of the curve at which the derailment occurred, and which also would have limited the train's speed entering the curve. Shortly after the derailment, Amtrak completed ATC installation on the northbound track.

Marc (TV series)
Marc is a British television series presented by T. Rex lead singer Marc Bolan. It was produced in Manchester by Granada Television for the ITV network. A second series was planned had Bolan not died before it could be produced.
Produced by Muriel Young and directed by Nicholas Ferguson, it ran for six weekly episodes in the autumn of 1977, before its host died in a car crash on 16 September that year. A pop music show, it gave Bolan a chance to showcase punk bands such as Generation X, the Jam, Radio Stars and Eddie and the Hot Rods. T. Rex performed at least three songs each week, a mixture of new versions of their old hits, and fresh tracks, while the guests were slotted in between. Not all were as notable as those listed above, though they also included Roger Taylor, drummer with the rock band Queen, in a rare solo TV appearance. They were also joined by a dance troupe called Heart Throb.
The last episode featured Bolan duetting with his friend David Bowie. Before the song had reached its end, Bolan tripped over a microphone cable and fell off the stage. Bowie is said to have called out "Could we have a wooden box for Marc [to stand on]?". Following the show Bolan and Bowie co-wrote and recorded a rough outline of a new song, 'Madman'. The new wave band Cuddly Toys found a bootleg tape and recorded it, which became a UK Indie Chart single and featured on their 'Guillotine Theatre' album.

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

Why Train Tickets Cost So Much In America
Taking a train in the U.S. is often more expensive than flying and more expensive than intercity train systems in other developed countries, which often have even faster trains and better service. But Amtrak, the federally funded company that runs many of America's passenger trains, has never made money. In fact, the company has a $42 billion repair backlog and in 2021 wasn't even able to cover half of its expenses from ticket revenue. That business comes mostly from the populous Northeast Corridor, where tickets are quite pricey. Ridership is slowly recovering from an all-time low due to the pandemic, and now Amtrak wants to expand service in a major 15-year plan, with $66 billion in funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. » Subscribe to CNBC: https://cnb.cx/SubscribeCNBC » Subsc...

Amtrak’s California Zephyr will blow your mind. If you’re thinking of taking the ultimate Amtrak train journey, watch this!
With its unmatched scenery, Amtrak’s California Zephyr should top not just your train trip list, but your entire travel bucket list.
In this video, we’ll travel from Chicago to San Francisco onboard Amtrak’s California Zephyr in a luxurious Bedroom, the ultimate Amtrak Train accommodation. We’ll also explore the California Zephyr Roomette to see how big that train accommodation really is!
And, for the first time ever, I’ll even show you the shower on the California Zephyr.
You’ll see the sights, the food, and gain insight into what it’s like to travel on Amtrak’s most scenic train: The California Zephyr.
Amtrak’s California Zephyr train was named for the original train operated jointly by the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy Railroad; the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad; and the Western Pacific Railroad. It was inaugurated March 19, 1949.
From its earliest days, the marketing and advertising for the California Zephyr train route has focused on the spectacular views along the way. And, in this video, you will see why!
This video started with five and a half hours of raw California Zephyr footage, distilled down to the best. That was a tough task because nearly every mile of the California Zephyr’s 2,438 mile journey was spectacular.

If you’ve taken the Amtrak recently, you might have no idea that the United States used to have the largest and wealthiest rail system in the world. How did the US go from having luxurious, widely used passenger trains to the Amtrak system we have today?
Video producer Dean Peterson makes a 72-hour journey on Amtrak from LA to NYC to show its current state of operation. From getting kicked in the head by his sleeping seat mate to taking in sweeping views of the desert at sunset, Dean shows the highs and lows of being stuck on Amtrak for days on end.
Along the way, he explains the history of passenger rail in the US — starting in the problematic robber baron era to the US government’s takeover of passenger rail. Will the United States ever catch up to the rest of the world when it comes to train travel, or are Americans stuck with an underfunded, inefficient rail network forever? Join Dean on his journey as he sets out to find out the answer to these questions and more.

At Amtrak we know the future of the Northeast Corridor depends on the investments we make today, which is why we are excited to announce the upcoming arrival of the next-generation of high-speed rail. The new trainsets will replace the current Acela Express equipment and begin service in 2021.
For this project, we are pleased to be partnering with Alstom, a leading global provider of innovative systems and equipment in the railway sector. Alstom will be building these new trainsets in New York State, with 95% of the trainset’s components being made in America, and parts coming from 350 suppliers in 30 U.S. states.

Watch this video to see what it’s like to travel by train across the USA on Amtrak in Coach, a Roomette, and a Bedroom!
We’ll compare all of Amtrak’s most common accommodations in one trip in order to help you decide which is best for you!
We traveled from San Francisco to Chicago onboard the ICONIC California Zephyr spending one day in Coach, another day in a Roomette, and the third and final day in a Bedroom.
We’ll share exactly what you can expect from each room type and the one thing everyone onboard gets to enjoy: The Unbelievable Views!
Amtrak’s California Zephyr is such an amazing experience, I’ve done it twice now. But this time even better. We stopped in Reno and Denver for 24 hours in part so we could see these cities, but also so we could switch room types for each leg.
In Coach, we’ll show you the Cafe Car and when we travel in a Roomette and in a Bedroom, we’ll show you the Dining Car!
We’ll even get “scientific” by measuring the space you get in each category: Coach Seat and the beds in the Roomette and Bedroom!

Taking a train in the U.S. is often more expensive than flying and more expensive than intercity train systems in other developed countries, which often have even faster trains and better service. But Amtrak, the federally funded company that runs many of America's passenger trains, has never made money. In fact, the company has a $42 billion repair backlog and in 2021 wasn't even able to cover half of its expenses from ticket revenue. That business comes mostly from the populous Northeast Corridor, where tickets are quite pricey. Ridership is slowly recovering from an all-time low due to the pandemic, and now Amtrak wants to expand service in a major 15-year plan, with $66 billion in funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

In Summer 2022, Metro worked around the clock to reconstruct the outdoor platforms and install station improvements at five Orange Line stations: New Carrollton, Landover, Cheverly, Deanwood, and Minnesota Ave.
The stations reopened in September with many new features:
-New slip-resistant tiles for better traction in slippery conditions
-Larger digital display screens
-Brighter, Energy-efficient LED lighting
-Stainless steel platform shelters with power outlets
These station closures were part of the fourth and final phase of Metro’s four-year platform reconstruction and station improvements program, to bring a higher level of safety, convenience, and communication to all customers.

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

New Carrollton already has many of the ingredients for success. These include access to public transit, a large workforce, and high levels of multimodal traffic. The County wishes take advantage of these assets. Thus, it has designated New Carrollton as a Downtown. The Placemaking Section helps implement this goal.

New Carrollton station
New Carrollton is a joint Washington Metro, MARC, and Amtrak station in New Carrollton, Prince George's County, Maryland at the eastern end of the Orange Line and planned Purple Line, and adjacent to the Capital Beltway.
Beneath the Metro station platform, a waiting room serves Amtrak's Northeast Regional and Vermonter trains, as well as MARC's Penn Line trains. The New Carrollton Rail Yard is nearby.
Greyhound, a nationwide intercity bus company, also stops at the station on routes serving Richmond, Washington, Philadelphia, New York City, Pittsburgh, and points beyond.
MARC Ridership
As of 2013, the daily MARC ridership was 982.
History
The New Carrollton station is the third station in the area to serve intercity rail traffic.
The first station, Lanham, 0.75 miles (1.21 km) north of the current station, consisted of a small shelter and an asphalt platform served by a few Penn Central trains.
The second, Capital Beltway, sat just inside the Capital Beltway. Opened on March 16, 1970, it was served by Penn Central (later Amtrak) Metroliners.

Amtrak’s California Zephyr will blow your mind. If you’re thinking of taking the ultimate Amtrak train journey, watch this!
With its unmatched scenery, Amtrak’s California Zephyr should top not just your train trip list, but your entire travel bucket list.
In this video, we’ll travel from Chicago to San Francisco onboard Amtrak’s California Zephyr in a luxurious Bedroom, the ultimate Amtrak Train accommodation. We’ll also explore the California Zephyr Roomette to see how big that train accommodation really is!
And, for the first time ever, I’ll even show you the shower on the California Zephyr.
You’ll see the sights, the food, and gain insight into what it’s like to travel on Amtrak’s most scenic train: The California Zephyr.
Amtrak’s California Zephyr train was named for the original train operated jointly by the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy Railroad; the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad; and the Western Pacific Railroad. It was inaugurated March 19, 1949.
From its earliest days, the marketing and advertising for the California Zephyr train route has focused on the spectacular views along the way. And, in this video, you will see why!
This video started with five and a half hours of raw California Zephyr footage, distilled down to the best. That was a tough task because nearly every mile of the California Zephyr’s 2,438 mile journey was spectacular.

If you’ve taken the Amtrak recently, you might have no idea that the United States used to have the largest and wealthiest rail system in the world. How did the US go from having luxurious, widely used passenger trains to the Amtrak system we have today?
Video producer Dean Peterson makes a 72-hour journey on Amtrak from LA to NYC to show its current state of operation. From getting kicked in the head by his sleeping seat mate to taking in sweeping views of the desert at sunset, Dean shows the highs and lows of being stuck on Amtrak for days on end.
Along the way, he explains the history of passenger rail in the US — starting in the problematic robber baron era to the US government’s takeover of passenger rail. Will the United States ever catch up to the rest of the world when it comes to train travel, or are Americans stuck with an underfunded, inefficient rail network forever? Join Dean on his journey as he sets out to find out the answer to these questions and more.

At Amtrak we know the future of the Northeast Corridor depends on the investments we make today, which is why we are excited to announce the upcoming arrival of the next-generation of high-speed rail. The new trainsets will replace the current Acela Express equipment and begin service in 2021.
For this project, we are pleased to be partnering with Alstom, a leading global provider of innovative systems and equipment in the railway sector. Alstom will be building these new trainsets in New York State, with 95% of the trainset’s components being made in America, and parts coming from 350 suppliers in 30 U.S. states.

Watch this video to see what it’s like to travel by train across the USA on Amtrak in Coach, a Roomette, and a Bedroom!
We’ll compare all of Amtrak’s most common accommodations in one trip in order to help you decide which is best for you!
We traveled from San Francisco to Chicago onboard the ICONIC California Zephyr spending one day in Coach, another day in a Roomette, and the third and final day in a Bedroom.
We’ll share exactly what you can expect from each room type and the one thing everyone onboard gets to enjoy: The Unbelievable Views!
Amtrak’s California Zephyr is such an amazing experience, I’ve done it twice now. But this time even better. We stopped in Reno and Denver for 24 hours in part so we could see these cities, but also so we could switch room types for each leg.
In Coach, we’ll show you the Cafe Car and when we travel in a Roomette and in a Bedroom, we’ll show you the Dining Car!
We’ll even get “scientific” by measuring the space you get in each category: Coach Seat and the beds in the Roomette and Bedroom!

Taking a train in the U.S. is often more expensive than flying and more expensive than intercity train systems in other developed countries, which often have even faster trains and better service. But Amtrak, the federally funded company that runs many of America's passenger trains, has never made money. In fact, the company has a $42 billion repair backlog and in 2021 wasn't even able to cover half of its expenses from ticket revenue. That business comes mostly from the populous Northeast Corridor, where tickets are quite pricey. Ridership is slowly recovering from an all-time low due to the pandemic, and now Amtrak wants to expand service in a major 15-year plan, with $66 billion in funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
