Amtrak Northeast Regional

Cons: Quantico, Virginia should only be for military personnel. It was very difficult for my family member to pick me up from the base. It was difficult to get in for my returned trip. Also the tracks could be labeled there we only arrows. Only one side had a bench ti sit on. The train conductor was nice enough to stop and ask where I was headed and let me cross to get on. Tips: If you’re not military persons don’t get off at Quantico, Virginia

City Information

Baltimore

Baltimore is a seaport in Maryland best known for its crab cakes and baseball legend, Babe Ruth. As there is plenty to see in Charm City, you'll be singing “Good Morning, Baltimore” as soon as you experience all of the sights and activities this quirky town has to offer.

Some of Baltimore's most impressive attractions are centred in and around Inner Harbor. This scenic waterfront is filled with historic ships, dating as far back as the Civil War in the case of the USS Constellation. Alongside shops and restaurants, Inner Harbor also hosts the National Aquarium, the Maryland Science Center, and several entertainment venues where you can catch live music. Enjoy a bird's-eye view of the harbour from atop Federal Hill Park, or if you prefer the view that inspired “The Star Spangled Banner,” head out to Fort McHenry, known for its role in the War of 1812.

Enjoy your wine or beer along the Avenue in Hampden, a neighbourhood known for its hipster bars, restaurants, and boutiques.
