The New Carrollton stop was initiated in 1987, but may have been dropped by 1990.I checked the 1991 timetable and it still stopped there. And it stopped at Baltimore both ways. The 1969 Metroliner skipped Philadelphia IIRC; certainly the 1970 nonstop did westbound (although there was a stop eastbound at Baltimore in the AM) You're actually showing the 1969 timetable. OK so Baltimore, not Philly. My mistake. And boy that schedule is bad. No trains reaching either NYP or DC before 9am and the last Metroliner leaves NYP at 5 sharp? If they can do 2h30-40m, it's fast enough. But if you only run one or two per day at that speed and the rest at close to 3 hours, people will use the airline shuttle. If the AE can't make a run that coach hauled trains did, that's quite a shame. |
