WASHINGTON — Expect delays getting in or out of Union Station in D.C. if you’re using MARC. Some trains have been canceled and there are delays following an Amtrak signal issue north of Union Station.

Shortly before 8 a.m. Thursday, trains entering Union Station from the Camden or Brunswick Lines were halted and Penn Line service was limited to one track.

MTA said Amtrak had restored service to D.C. a short while later.

The Camden and Brunswick lines appear to be the hardest hit.

Check the MTA website for train advisories.
