You, sir, are wrong. There is a lot of right-of-way that was purchased
that has not been built yet.

There are THREE systems in Baltimore, Heavy rail (AMTRAK), light rail
(MARC , I called it MART earlier ...sorry) and METRO (not to be
confused with the DC Metro) The Baltimore METRO is the subway. MARC is
totally above ground and METRO is an integrated above/below ground
system (sort of like the Munchen or Berlin U-Bahn ... the MARC is like
the S-Bahn)

Which one were you referring to in the 16M dollar posting?
