There are four passenger rail systems in Baltimore. Amtrak runs
intercity rail serving Pennsylvania ststion. MARC (Mass Transit
Administration Maryland) runs commuter rail, heavy rail, and light
rail. The commuter rail runs from Camden and Pennsylvania Stations to
D.C. The one serving Penn station also runs into the northern suburbs.
The heavy rail runs partially in subway and partially elevated from
Johns Hopkins west into the suburbs. The light rail runs north south
using Howard Street in the downtown. It is all on the surface except
for a few bridges.

The Germans call Commuter rail -- S-Bahn, heavy rail -- U-Bahn, and
light -- rail trams. We used to call it sreetcars or trolley cars.

As I said, the light rail.
