Same. But given how important a freight corridor it is for CSX I doubt that will happen any time soon, even with the line being double track and not currently running at capacity.

They have that nice new station at Camden Yards! Should be used more!

I didn’t know that about the heavy use of that freight corridor, but my MARC fever dream is that Maryland buys CSX right of way and turns the Camden Line into what the Penn line is right now: a high frequency, speedy arterial in the Bal/Was corridor with connections to other transit modes. Similar to what Virginia is doing with VRE
