Water main break limits Amtrak service

PHILADELPHIA - April 29, 2009 Amtrak has been moving some trains between Baltimore and Washington after a Wednesday morning water main break north of the Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport station halted service.

However, Public Works spokesman Kurt Kocher said Wednesday that major delays are expected for trains south of Baltimore until sometime Friday while the 36-inch pipe is replaced Thursday. Kocher says this type of main installed in the 1970s is notorious for defects.

Southwest Baltimore County, Howard County and southwest Baltimore residents are being asked to conserve water.
